[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 316104, member: 84"] I haven't passed out candy in about 5 yrs. And the way it looks around town....no one else will be doing it for long either. A shame. :( My community college does a big beggers nite safe trick or treat. Ok, so the idea is great.....businesses set up all around the parking lot and pass out candy from their decorated booths. sister in law's Mom and step dad do it every year cuz they own Subway. But honestly.......it's a nitemare and I don't know why any parent would bother to take their kids to it. Traffic to get into and out of the college is backed up for hours. Kids/parents stand in long lines that take forever to move. I've never taken my kids. And the grands have never been to it. Plus our downtown business (those who don't want to set up at the college) do the same thing in front of their businesses down town. This is less chaotic....and believe it or not, less traffic. Bad part about it is........it's ruining the old fashioned kids knocking on neighbor's doors and trick or treating. :( We took Aubrey and Darrin around Nichole's boyfriend's parents neighborhood. Normally this neighborhood is packed with trick or treaters. Not this year. Hardly anyone was there.......and the kids got loaded down with candy because of it. Nichole's boyfriend's parents said they've watched the crowds dwindle each year.......this year maybe all of 20 kids showed up, counting Aubrey, Darrin, and Brandon. They aren't planning to bother next year. The grands had soooo much fun. And Aubrey was thrilled one lady was handing out beanie babies along with her candy. :D [/QUOTE]
