History of Halloween in America

Annabelle Halloween PumpkinThe history of Halloween in America took root when Irish, Scottish and Welsh immigrants in the 19th century, primarily those fleeing the potato famine of 1846, introduced the Celtic tradition known as Hallows E’en (Evening) or All Hallows Eve to America. Recalling older traditions, these new Americans put on ghost-type costumes and lit fires to protect themselves from the dead, who were believed to travel to the Other World on this day.-----

ABBA-ZABA Partners with Rusnak BMW for the Winter Wonderland in Westlake Toy Drive Event

Hayward, CA (October 25, 2011) – ABBA-ZABA and Annabelle Candy Company are pleased
to announce their partnership with Rusnak BMW for the “Winter Wonderland in
Westlake” Toy Drive on Saturday, November 5th. The holiday event will take place from 5:00
to 9:00 PM at Rusnak BMW located at 3645 Auto Mall Drive in Thousand Oaks, California.
The toy drive, benefitting the Children’s Trust Fund,
promises to be an eventful night filled with fun, festive
holiday spirits as hundreds of people and celebrities
come out to support the worthy cause.
As the holiday draws near, far too many at-risk and foster
youths in the Los Angeles County area go without gifts
and toys for the holidays. Rusnak BMW, Annabelle Candy
Company and dozens of other sponsors encourage their
guests to attend the event by bringing a new, unwrapped
toy or sports equipment to fulfill the requests of family
and non-profit organizations in the community. As part of
a county-wide effort, approximately 40,000 toy donations
will be collected and re-distributed to foster youth and
charitable organizations in the Los Angeles area.
At the Winter Wonderland event, there will be fun activities and delicious treats for everyone
in attendance including aerial acrobats performing above falling snow, a Barbie Playhouse,
Santa’s Jumbo Chair and a “Candyland” featuring scrumptious treats by Ah, How Sweet and
everyone’s favorite candy bar, ABBA-ZABA. Be sure to come on by for a free sample!
“Annabelle Candy Company is honored to be a part of this charitable event,” said Dave
Klabunde, sales and marketing director for Annabelle Candy. “Although ABBA-ZABA’s
donation plays a small role in the overall goals of the event, we encourage the people in the
Los Angeles community to come out to support The Children’s Fund, donate a toy, grab some
ABBA-ZABA candy and enjoy the Winter Wonderland festivities.”

This day was called “All Hallows Eve.” On All Hallows Eve, it was believed that the doors opened between the world of the dead and the world of the living. All the spirits of the people who died during the previous year were thought to be traveling from their resting place to their place in the next world.-----
