The weather is really crappie rain with high winds. I've only had two Trick or Treaters and their mom was driving them around. I guess the trick is on the kids this year.

Sad for the kids. We got lucky in New England. The rain and really bad wind held off until after the trick or treat hours.

We never get anyone. We are on the edge of town, no sidewalks and it is dark. The kids stick to the more dense areas, more candy quicker!
Halloween seems to be dying out. It was huge when I was a kid. Just another victim in the digital age...

At the end of the night a large group of little ones came with their parents. I had 2 bowls of candy, put them on the floor and said "take it all". It was funny to watch.

There were a few cities and towns in Ontario and Quebec that cancelled Hallowe'en yesterday due to the inclement weather. Therefore Hallowe'en will be celebrated tonight. Good for the little ones.
Gary.

Beautiful and warm here. But the crowd was down and over half the houses were dark on our street.
Soaping windows and rolling houses needs to be revived. Lit house, Happy Halloween. Dark house... maybe you will leave the light on next year.

It was huge when I was a kid. Just another victim in the digital age... Tom Our town is 90% rural, so we do something unique which I love. Everybody in town donates candy, we drop it off at the police station. That then gets distributed to the homes around the common (New England speak for the center of town, where we have the most density). Then all of the kids/families gather on the common for trick or treating. Those of us with older kids let them roam on their own and we head to the General Store for a beverage of choice (had myself a nice hard cider last night). The Lions also pop a tent and sell hot dogs and popcorn. Its a fun time. Very dense with kids in costumes and the people with homes on the common don't need to buy candy to give out. |

Even when the weather is good they all go downtown to Trick or TREAT and ignore the neighborhoods. I told Mary this was our last Halloween.

It got very cold here after a weather front pushed through. I'm guessing that's why we only had 20 or so kids show up... and we do the full size candy bars!  |

Living in a rural area, we typically have no kids some calling. Last night it rained hard, so there definitely were no kids. We did have candy just in case.  |

Kind of sad..... kids today with their helicopter parents are tending to take their kids to a trunk and treat location rather than letting them go from house to house. I guess things have certainly changed from the old days of trick or treating on your own to numerous neighborhoods and coming home after dark with pillow cases full of candy. Maybe it is for the better.....or not.

In our case, the homes are very spread apart, no sidewalks, no lights and literally acres between properties. Logistically very hard for kids to trick or treat in most of the town. Most parents, ourselves included, will drop their kids off at the common (our town center) and let them roam on their own. It is very full of kids doing their thing on Halloween night. |

The weather in Vero Beach was beautiful Halloween night but we only had 20-30 kids. Many parents don't want their kids trick or treating because of the few evil souls who sabotage the treats. Many take their kids to Trunk and Treat, local malls or parties where they know the people handing out treats so it's safe.
