Number of Trick or Treaters last night?

[QueBota]

I do the same thing, as well as a neighbor from up the road. We live in a semi-rural neighborhood, 4 to 20 acre lots, the homes are pretty spread out. I took my daughters and let my 17 year old soon do some of the driving, he is going to inherit pulling the trailer 100% next year. My daughters each brought a couple of friends and we picked up a few along the way. There is a golf course community across the state highway, that's were the full size candy bars live. They get a kick out of the "hillbilly" folks from across the road that come over with tractors and trailers. Not unusual for them to be out on the porch waiting for trick or treaters.

My neighbor gives out candy for us while were out, he said not as many as last year, although we did have some on/off rain showers. My kids and friends had a great time, folks were giving out extra candy, I guess because of the low turnout. Seems to be declining over the past few years.

we live in a development that is pretty popular with trick or treaters. I pulled a double axle trailer with my tractor with bales of straw around part of the neignborhood last night with 5 kids from 3 to 9 and thier parents. The kids (and parents) had a great time and got lots of candy. They had so much they were trying to share with me. My wife said had about 25 at our house. The hottest area in the neighborhood was the back corner and it was pretty busy. One of the boys, about age 8, wanted to know if he could drive the tractor. Thats me in the cowboy hat.

We have never had a trick or treater at our house! Maybe it has something to do with the long walk from the nearest house, the gate across the road, and the no trespass signs! :confused3::laughing::laughing::laughing:

I don't think anyone in the neighborhood near us TorT's because the houses are so spread out and there are only four families with kids. We take our kids to friends house in a large subdivision in town. Many of the rural people do the same. There are thousands of people roaming around this neighborhood and many of the houses do a great job in decorating. :thumbsup: It reminds me of TorT we had when I was a kid and it is fun to do as an adult. We really enjoying watching the kids, seeing the costumes and the house decorations.

When we lived in the city, we had very few people TorTing. Most of the people would take their kids to the mall for Halloween instead of going door to door.

Visiting Son and Family near Nashville, TN. Had a 'pitch counter' we use for the Grandson's baseball games and counted 418 on Friday night. Vans and cars were bringing in kids all night. Funny this is that I guess that 60 - 40 were over 16 yrs old with the 60 being the older kids. I never went out when I was in Jr High or High School but not here.

With a mile long drive, we didn't expect and didn't get any visitors. Sometimes, when my grandkids were of an age and visiting, they would dress up, go out the back and come around the front to yell trick or treat... But that's it.

When our kids were young, we lived in a suburb area and had plenty of visitors, and some problems. I like it where I am now... In the country.
