ANOKA, Minn. — Being early to Halloween is a point of pride for Anoka, nicknamed “Halloween Capital of the World.” “We were the first city in the United States to have a Halloween party,” Roxy Orcutt, a Halloween historian said. “In 1920, we had the official Congressional declaration.” So when "summerween" - a trend of celebrating Halloween traditions during summer - took hold of social media, Anoka residents were already on board. “We're always in the Halloween mode,” Orcutt said.
