It’s interesting to know.

Sometimes when you are searching for materials, you may try several links. So on the eve of Halloween I found two links which from the first site are not very much closely connected.

www.free-english-study.com which is a great free resource and it linked me to another one www.americanlibrary.gov where I found the material I looked for

Anoka, Minnesota: The Halloween Capital of the World

A Local Legacy

Did you know that Halloween has a capital? Anoka, Minnesota, calls itself the "Halloween Capital of the World," as it is one of the first cities in the United States to put on a Halloween celebration that discourages people from playing tricks or causing trouble.

In 1920, a weeklong celebration was started in Anoka in an effort to take the trick out of trick-or-treat. The Grand Day Parade includes a Mass Band, made up of bands from four high schools. Another featured event is the Gray Ghost 5K Run, inspired by sightings of Bill Andberg, a marathon runner in his 70s whose gray-clad ghostly figure can often be seen running through a local cemetery.

There are many competitions during the week, including a pumpkin bake-off and one for best Halloween house decorations. Most participants wear their Halloween costumes. Do you suppose people wear the same costumes all week long?

Think they don't.

It's surely interesting. I've hooked on an idea from that. As I am trying to realize a project devoted to Halloween in my kindergarden the competition for best Halloween classsroom decoration would be great. Thanks.

The point is our kindergardeners are not interested in English activities, lessons, tests, crafts exhibitions and so on. Can anyone help with the tips how to attract other specialists (not English teachers) to a teamwork?
