<h3>A bit about Halloween…</h3>
<p>There are perhaps as many stories about the origins of Halloween as there are people to tell the story. It seems like the story of the Celts is the most common form, but there are also theories about it being tied-in to Noah’s Ark, or to Olde Ireland.</p>
<p>Here is some information about it’s origins, but the closest we will perhaps ever get to the truth is pure speculation.</p>
