The holiday is more than a month away, but Walgreen's on South Avenue is ready to furnish all the costumes, lawn ornaments and candy you need for Halloween.Despite some efforts in recent years to recast the pagan holiday as a harvest festival, it seems there is still a big demand for black cats, witches, skeletons and other spooky accoutrements. And so far broccoli florets have not replaced candy corn.
Look for a lot of Halloween safety tips as the holiday gets closer. And keep an eye out for those "Trunk or Treat" events that are replacing door-to-door visiting in some communities. The Salvation Army on Watchung Avenue has held them in past years.

Actually walk into any Walgreens or CVS and the first thing you notice is One Whole Isle of bagged candy in Orange Boves.
