Happy Halloween!

I hope everyone has a fun and safe Halloween today! It's an exciting Halloween in Salt Lake City this year. Real Salt Lake will take on the Columbus Crew in the first leg of their Eastern Conference playoff match at Rio Tinto Stadium at 4 p.m. The University of Utah Utes take on the Wyoming Cowboys at Rice-Eccles Stadium tonight at 6 p.m. Organizers for both teams are encouraging fans to wear Halloween costumes and providing Halloween activities before the games. For the Utes, it's their second annual "blackout" game, with the fans encouraged to wear black and the team wearing black uniforms.

If you plan to get out and celebrate at a haunted house or corn maze today, check out my list of Salt Lake City Halloween events. But really, the greatest thing about Halloween is old-fashioned trick-or-treating. What could be better than getting the chance to wear an outrageous outfit and have all your neighbors to give you free candy? I love candy almost as much as the average kid, and if you feel the same I highly encourage you to check out About.com's candy site. Candy guide Elizabeth LaBau has the best job in the world!
