Fact of the Day:   Halloween is a Pagan holiday that dates back approximately 2,000 years.  Irish immigrants, in the mid-1800’s, are credited with bringing the Halloween tradition to the US.  Today is the 2nd most commercialized day besides Christmas.  It is estimated that $8 billion dollars in candy, costumes, and decorations were spent in anticipation of today.  Also, Illinois produces 5 times as many pumpkins than any other state.  The key reason, the pumpkins love the Land of Lincoln soil.
