On October 31 St Nicholas Church in Kenosha, Wisconsin hosted and "alternative halloween" celebration consisting of Great Vespers, a festal party that included a hearty hotdog supper, hot cider, pumpkin-painting, make-your-own caramel apples, gourd-bowling, goodie bags, near fatal bouts of fake sword fighting, and lots of warm-hearted fellowship. Knights, Cossacks, angels, cats, and even a deviled egg made an appearance.
