I'm waiting for the week or two After Halloween....when the stores sell their excess candy at a discount. We haven't had any kids stop by for the last 2 or 3 years....all the kids in our immediate area have grown up....the school bus no longer comes through here. But, I like to "splurge" on some candy....when the price comes down.

Nanaimo’s ‘Shady Mile’ pumpkin display lights up Jingle Pot area​

NANAIMO — It might look a little different than in years past, but the annual Shady Mile pumpkin display still draws a crowd.
Coleen Budd, who has lived in the area since 2004, said the tradition has changed and dwindled a little over the years given growth and development along Jingle Pot Rd.
“When the fire hall wasn’t there, people used to put pumpkins all along the whole road, a whole mile of pumpkins and a man used to come at night and light them all.”
Now a majority of pumpkins find a home at the East Wellington Fire Hall, with other pockets dotted along Jingle Pot Rd.
