From The Editor:

Welcome to the 4th Issue of HomeFront.

This autumn finds our publication coming full-circle, with a year’s worth of issues and input behind us. We are glad to have found a place in the homes of our readers, and hope that over the past year everyone has learned something new. We have certainly enjoyed sharing our experiences and learning along the way while exploring new topics, and look forward to the many issues to come.

With fall comes a favorite holiday for many families- Halloween! Along with our regular columns, this issue of HomeFront has a number of seasonal features, ranging from the history of the Jack-o-Lantern to ensuring your pets stay safe at Halloween. If you are running low on inspiration for children’s costumes, we also have some great photos our readers and writers have shared with us from previous years. We would love to see photos of your little ones in costume or participating in any family activities, so please feel free to send them our way.

HomeFront will Make a Difference

Whether your family explores traditional customs, delving into our rich folkish history, or simply dresses up for the fun of it, we hope that you all have a safe and fun holiday!

HomeFront issue No 5 is due out on December 21st

Enjoy the fourth issue of HomeFront!
