Fall festival will replace trick or treat in Edmond | News OK (http://newsok.com/fall-festival-will-replace-trick-or-treat-in-edmond/article/5338377)

Anybody have thoughts on this? Could there have been complaints from people about Halloween and trick-or-treating so they decided to replace it with a fall festival?

As someone who went a few times in the last decade, attendance declined every year. Sounds like they needed a fresh start and approach. It seems like folks liked the idea of T or T in their own neighborhoods, rather than going to DT Edmond.

I was just listening to a story on NPR the other morning about Halloween (The Business Of Halloween Means You Can Buy An Arm And A Leg : NPR (http://www.npr.org/2014/09/03/345575950/the-business-of-halloween-means-you-can-buy-an-arm-and-a-leg)).

It is becoming more popular every year. Second to Christmas in decorations purchased. If anything they might be renaming it to attract more people.

If attendance at Edmond t or t the street has been falling, perhaps the folks have been adding to the apparent success of T or T the Zoo? I hear it is growing.

Its a War on Halloween! Call the media outlets, the loons are attacking our traditional culture.
