Hi!
We dont have candy corn here in South Africa, otherwise I would’ve loved to do some of your ideas. Halloween is not big in South Africa either. And if anyone here in our conservative community hears halloween, they immediatly assosiate it with devil worship etc. So we miss a lot of all the fun!
