尼渥拉 (Neewollah)
地方性遺產
將Neewollah反過來唸，看看是什麼字？
是的，萬聖節(Halloween)！原先，Neewollah只是一個不同於「不給糖，就搗蛋」惡意破壞行為的有趣的活動。根據1918年的報紙，當年的惡意破壞行為特別的嚴重，而Neewollah則是為孩童們所創，希望能在萬聖節活動中，給他們一個健康的選擇。
這項於堪薩斯州獨立城所舉辦的活動，已經由原本的萬聖節當夜的慶祝活動，變為一個長達九天的大型慶典！它包括了三場遊行、社區音樂劇(如：綠野仙蹤The
Wizard of Oz)、才藝表演及Neewollah皇后的加冕典禮。另外，節慶中也加入了其他的音樂表演及遊戲，如：尋找Neewollah大獎章。這個慶祝活動極受歡迎。這個原本只有11,000人的小鎮，在Neewollah舉辦時，會變成住有80,000多人的擁擠市鎮，這也使得它成為該州最大的公開活動。
Spell "Neewollah" backwards and what do you get?
Halloween, of course! Neewollah first began as a fun alternative to trick-or-treat vandalism. According to newspapers from 1918, vandalism was especially bad that year, and Neewollah was created to give kids a healthy option for their Halloween activities.
This event, held in Independence, Kansas, has grown from just a Halloween night celebration to a festival that lasts nine days! It features three parades, community theater musical productions such as The Wizard of Oz, a talent show, and the coronation of a Neewollah queen. Musical entertainment and games such as the Neewollah medallion hunt add to the festivities. The celebration is so popular that this town of 11,000 grows to more that 80,000 during Neewollah, making it the state's largest public event.
