In the deep recesses of my early memory, I remember my town holding annual Halloween Witch Burnings.My family recently brought it up. Our relatives and family friends would bring their kids to our little town to celebrate this evil, yet woderfully fun, event.
While my little town has no web history of the event, our neighboring town of Lisle does have a historical record of the Halloween fun.
We shared a fire department with Lisle, our parish was an offshoot of Lisle's, our town was in Lisle Township, and they showed us how to party as well.
Hey, if the Brits can celebrate burning Catholics every year at this time, I guess we weren't so bad. We'd never get away with something like this now, though.
