(S11) - PT 3 - Halloween Party

[dropbear]

Halloween has always been an interesting time for Howard Miller. Having been born in Australia, the tradition never really struck a chord with him. Though he has spent the majority of his life in the United States and certainly enjoyed the event as a kid, as an adult he has struggled to find the point and purpose in simply giving out candy to kids. He loves seeing them happy, though he believes it shouldn’t be limited to just a single day. So, for the week leading up to Halloween, Miller visits struggling neighbourhoods around Denver and, if possible, greater areas of Colorado, to hand out more ethical ‘treats’: new clothes, toiletries, sports gear, school supplies, food vouchers, and more. For those who recognise him or are fans of the team or just the NSFL in general, he arranges to have them visit team facilities and meet players and coaches, or, if they’re not necessarily fans of the Yeti, he just gets them along to a game – ideally when it’s their favourite team visiting Colorado. Once Halloween night does come around, Miller still decorates his house and has plenty of candy for the kids, but it’s the week leading up to the spooky night that means the most to him.
