Will Coats Be Required Over Halloween Costumes?

Nothing worse than having to cover up a great costume with a big puffy winter coat, but it's a real possibility as the forecast over the next week begins to change dramatically. That means it's time to get creative if you don't want to cover up a great costume.

Just a heads-up then so you can put some ideas together that keep all that creative costume work visible.

May their Halloween bags be filled with treats you'll be acquiring via the 'Candy Tax', I'm certain you'll be collecting.
