Kitchener Coffee & Conversation - Trick or Treat?

Apparently the origins of Halloween and trick-or-treating began about 2000 years ago with the Celtic festival of Samhain. They believed that on October 31st the dead returned to the earth, so they wore costumes to drive spirits away and offered food to pacify those that showed up.

Later this evolved into wearing scary costumes and performing tricks in exchange for food. More recently trick-or-treating became associated with young people demanding treats to prevent mischief.

So let's celebrate Halloween with some tricks and treats and casual conversation about spooky things and Halloween's gone by. Perform a trick and/or bring a treat and either dress up or come as yourself.

This will be more of a Halloween social rather than our typical structured conversation. I’m sure it will be a lot of fun, so I hope you can join us :)
