I cant understand why Hiawatha cant celebrate Halloween on a single night like most towns and cities with sane people in them. That night would be October 31. It shouldnt matter what day of the week it falls on, a single night on the 31st. Every time I try to explain this to people not from here they typically reply with the same disbelief.
