HALLOWEEN

In the U.S., the first recorded instance of a Halloween celebration occurred in Anoka, Minnesota in 1921
US Census Bureau, October, 2003

Total U.S. pumpkin production in 2003 was 805 million pounds. Illinois, with a production of 326 million pounds, led the country. There also were big pumpkin patches in California (150 million pounds produced), Pennsylvania (117 million), New York (107 million) and Michigan (60 million). The value of all these pumpkins was $81 million.
US Census Bureau, October, 2004

Per capita consumption of candy by Americans in 2002 was 24 pounds; it is believed a large portion is consumed by kids on and during the days immediately following Halloween. Candy consumption has actually declined over the last few years: in 1997, each American gobbled or savored more than 27 pounds a year.
