odies dad Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 "Business" was slow this year. Only had 4 kids stop by. There have been years when there were none but it seems like not as many kids were out this year around here. Now I have to eat all the extra candy. I took the boys (2&3) out for the first time this year. Just to local friends and neighbors and of course to grandma and grandpa's. So how many halloweeners do you folks usually get?

MorgansBoss Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 We live in a rural area so we don't get any, but I always go to my dad's who still lives in the small town where I grew up, and pass out candy with him. Town's about one square mile - had about 150 to 200 kids! Went through two Walmart bags of candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FC Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 LOTS, I mean the usual hundreds of kids. Helps that this area is Army. I probably gave out $35-$40 of candy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Hess Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 None. It is probably a good 5 minute walk up and down steep hills with no lights. Plus all the meth labs around, which typically don't like visitors. My wife bought some candy our first year here, but I knew there would be none.

Emul8 Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 When I first moved to this neighborhood a mere 4.5 years ago, a lot of the kids around here were small-ish, so there were quite a few trick-or-treaters out on Halloween. Well over 100 in those days. This past Halloween we had 44. Of course, it didn't help that all the people on this block now are either too stingy or whatever to give out candy. My next door neighbor, whom I have an awful relationship with never gives out candy, and I secretly detest her for that. As I plan to move to a more rural setting this next spring, I think I will miss Halloween should where I live prove to have few trick-or-treaters. I'll miss it, but not too much!

NCShooter Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Being in a subdivision we normally get between 50 and 60. I really like seeing the new costumes they come up with every year. And the candy makes even the shyest (sp?) kids brave.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
