Not many Trick-o-Treaters this year??

[Cohiba]

Hey All,

My wife and I live waaaay up North OKC & West Edmond area-ish. We maybe had 20 kiddos if that many this year. What happened?

Lights on...check
Pumpkins carved and candles lit.....check
Kids....sort of.

My Mother-in-Law lives in the NW 61st area....West of Penn Square....maybe 10 kids at her house.

We shut down at 9:15, at my house.


Economic bad times? Price of gas? Safety....going to a mall to get candy?

What's up?

How was the "turn-out" of kids in your neighborhood this year??

None at all this year and we usually have a few. Now the wife claims she gets to eat the candy.

I think it's the stupidity of the city councils or whoever decided to have "trick or treat" on the night BEFORE Halloween.
The News people said that there would probably be trick or treaters both nights.

I hate it when they do this crap. If Halloween is on the 31st, trick or treat on that night dammit!!!

This. But really, I haven't had many in a couple of years.

We had quite a few, I'd say between 60-80 kids. They seem to come into our neighborhood by the car, truck, and van loads. Started about 6:30 and went strong til about 8:30
