Halloween has become a holiday that is enjoyed by people of all ages. Get in the spirit of Halloween by listening to Dale Allen and Krissy Dorn as they scare up some fun with ghostly tales and autumn lore. You might want to carry traditional ghost protection...a sprig of rosemary in a seashell. Just kidding---or are we? For ages 10 through 100!
