This week the Southeast Missourian asked, "What do you like about Halloween?"
Crystal Swain, Chaffee
"The excitement of all the little kids dressing up in different costumes. The change of the trees ... the fall atmosphere basically."
Mike Gerber, Cape Girardeau
"A bunch of candy and all the people getting together having fun. It's fun getting scared and everything ... getting to be with your friends."
Arthur Free, Chaffee,
"Just the children coming to visit. I like this time of the year ... the decorations."
Carineace Jones, Cape Girardeau
"It's really more for the kids now. I believe you know I know some adults going out and buying the masks ... I really feel it's for the kids. It makes the kids happy."
Stephanie Boettcher, Altenburg
"I like finding all the candy I get. Picking out the costumes and wearing them. Going through the town trick-or-treating with my friends."
