When is Trick or Treat night in your area?

[rucky]

Ours is tonight. Everywhere else I lived we just had it on Halloween, but around here it's different in each community and from year to year. Does anyone else do that, or is it always Halloween Night for you?

1. It's tonight here, too. Here's our giant basin of junk to hand out:

There are ten huge bags of candy in this tub.

2. 3-7 pm on Sat.

I have six bags of candy. Hope it's enough!

[rucky]

3. Pretty slow here tonight, so far.

I'm thinking candy for dinner at the rucky household until Thanksgiving.

4. Here in OKC it is Saturday, but

down in Norman, Oklahoma they are doing it on Friday because OU is playing a night game Saturday night.

5. It's always been on Halloween night

where I live. I wouldn't want it any other way.

6. Our town gets one hour from 6 - 7PM. It sux.

On Halloween though.

9. What happens to kids caught Trick or Treating at 7:05?

[rurallib]

13. Well, for one thing no one answers their door.

Seriously, everybody stops at 7 or very shortly thereafter. There used to be school (UNICEF) parties but I think thety no longer have them.
My town is small - @3500. So that is a factor.

[cyberswede]

14. Yeah but, we get over 300 in that hour

I don't know about your place, rurallib, but on our street, we get over 300 kids in that hour - believe me, it's long enough!

I'm glad they keep it on Halloween, though. I wonder if they'll try to move it next year, since Halloween is a Sunday? I'll have a little talk with the Mayor, if he tries that. :)

15. We used to when the kids were small, but now they all live on

your side of town.
We'll get probably 100 or so.

7. Ours is tonight. Iowa. It's called Beggars Night.

no kids though because it's pouring.

[LeftyMom]

8. Uh, it's on Halloween. There's no formal schedule.

Generally the little, little kids (toddlers, preschoolers) get taken around as soon as it's getting sort-of-vaguely-darkish, and taken in at full dark. The older kids come out at full dark and go in when the adults get fed up and stop answering the doors.

10. seriously? they have it on a night not halloween and call it something else put time restriction?

that is too much. i have never heard fo that.

always had halloween oct 31.

[rucky]

11. Me too, until I moved to the Midwest.

still seems strange to me. I think it has something to do with Detroit & Devil's Night - and its variations in the area.

[NewJeffCT]

12. Never heard of it not on Halloween night?

even if it rains...

16. If it's not on Halloween night, it's something else.

17. It's on Halloween, despite the parents trying to ban it as usual. (nt)

18. Halloween night, as late as people will answer their doors.

I trick or treated in heavy snow at least twice in my life, and there were a couple nights when it was really cold other than the snowy nights. The weather isn't really that much of a factor unless there's a TON of snow on the ground.
