Halloween is not far away. Taking kids trick or treating and receiving trick or treaters may be a great opportunity to harangue share about Bernie Sanders.
LEAFLETS are the campaigning key, but there are other things you can bring.
Whether you are going around trick and treating or receiving trick or treaters, you can hand out to the adults (only the adults) leaflets that you can put together yourself to say whatever you want or print out from the Bernie Sanders Group or facebook, in both English and Spanish, maybe along with mini-campaign buttons. Think about also using this link to find upcoming Sanders events near you and printing out a list of them to include as part of your leaflet or handout. https://go.berniesanders.com/page/event/search_simple
2016 Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders Halloween costumes are, of course, what to wear..
On this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/128046473, dflprincess posted a great pic of Bernie on a Stick, which would make a great and inexpensive mask.

After that, you basically need jeans, khakis, or any kind of toned down trouser, a shirt, either a Bernie T or a dress shirt, preferably pale blue, which Bernie seems to favor for campaigning, or denim or white, again anything toned down. Boom. You have a 2016 Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders costume that you will not waste a lot of money on for only a couple of hours worth of wear one time. The child and adult could trick or treat dressed similarly. You could also gild that lily, as follows:
If you like add an American flag and/or a makeshift picket sign with a message or your choice, and/or hurry up (orders take time to fill) and order some campaign buttons from the Bernie store. They can be part of the costume. Trick or treaters can also leave one with an adult at the homes and apartments they visit.
What you request
The haints will get you if Halloween is not about the usual Halloween treats. However, you can also request a donation to the Sanders campaign and/or attendance at a future Sanders volunteer event, or that people watch the October 13 debate and stay tuned for future debates.
What you have
Fun.
Fun with Bernie Sanders, adorable kids in costumes, including, but not limited to, your own offspring, friends and neighbors.
ETA: You can also have a Halloween Party or Potluck to which everyone has to come dressed as Bernie, or a ballot or something like that. Have a portion of it be a Bernie volunteer event.
For refreshments: coffee, soft drinks, one of the Bernie Brew Beers and Bernie cupcakes (and whatever else you or your guests come up with).
to appalachiablue for the cupcakes:
= new reply since forum marked as read
Thinking of using JackPine Radical's fringe candidate as a template. Maybe another one that just says 'BERN'.
I wish I could do one as good as this one of Obama, but the pumpkin would rot before I could finish it:
