Was Halloween slower this year in your neighborhood? We had about 1/3 -1/2 the usual amount of kids

trick-or-treating compared to other years.

I couldn't believe how slow it was. I only purchased $12 of pb cups and an assortment bag..

We doled out 3 pcs each because it was so slow. We should've gave handfuls!

We had 70 children. One little 3 year old declined candy though ...

we had three types of (large!) chocolate bars and she didn't like any of them. That cracked us up!. Happy Halloween!

 

[dianncy1964]

We had quite a few ~ Some costumes were great, adorable, prescious too ~ The little ones are so cute

 

[deb-in-mi]

Yes - slower. Only about 120 (typically at least another 30 or 40)

 

[aajay]

For the first time, none. Usually about a dozen or so.

 

[marilynfl]

Probably 20 at most. I asked some of the parents and they said most of the houses were dark.

I felt so guilty this year as we had to go to a wedding party. The only Hallowe'en we've missed

in 32 years. I tried to get the neighbours to give out what I'd bought but they had departed.

I think kids should be able to hang on to some old traditions. There are so few left.

 

[dawnnys]

Yes, I thought so, although we can out of candy!

[angak]

just a little slower, although it was just 28 degrees . brrrr.

 

[desertjean]

Just one little trick or treater.

I so look forward to seeing the kids, but this year we had only one child show up. Not even the immediate neighbors kids/grandkids.

... I'll PM you my address

 

[marsha-tbay]

As aajay said, first time we've never had any; first time not hearing kids say TOT either

 

[luisa_calif]

NONE-we didn't get home until 7:30, dark by then & we left the lights off as no little ones go out

 

[lisainla]

We had none - I suspect a lot of parties the reason. We went out with some

friends and their kids, and there were hardly any kids out in the neighborhoods.

Our local village/downtown merchants hosted a trick-or-treat event, and it was well attended.

you ARE quick, girl!!! smileys/smile.gif)

 

[patbastrop]

We live pretty far out in the country, so no trick or treaters. But our little town

closed up Main Street and had a huge party for the kids. Austin, 6th Street was a drunken brawl, but lil'ole Bastrop was rocking for the kidlings. It was great!

 

[dawnnys]

Oh, that's kind of pitiful!

 

[dawnnys]

"Only" $12 - wow, that would feed our whole development here )
