Not many Trick-o-Treaters this year??

[criticalbass]

Northwest OKC--Started a little before 7:00 and went pretty steadily to a little after 8:00. Lots of little ones this year, and only one who is probably already shaving. Probably a total of about 60.

I love to watch the small ones round the corner of my sidewalk, see my evil clown mask, and stop instantly. Some just run like hell, but their folks bring them back and I remove the mask.

Last year late in the evening I saw three teenage girls, probably close to sixteen years old, coming toward the house. I hid behind a bush, and leaped out at the proper moment. I do believe there may have been an accident or two in those costumes. They said they were probably doing trick or treat for the last time. I suggested that they might simply change roles in a few years, and they seemed to really like that. CB

Halloween is tomorrow. If the f'n government in this town had decided differently, I would have left my lights off just because.



"And that's all I've got to say about that."

No need to punish the kids for the mistakes of the town council.

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??

yep,us also. we had a few, maybe 20-30 or so. mostly kids we know or have lived in the neighborhood before. kinda strange. we bought more candy than we usually do based on the good weather and the fact that they moved to saturday night. oh well, those snickers went down really well in the deer stand this morn!

Well last year we had ZERO Trick or Treaters in our neck of the woods so this year the wife and I are doing the Trunk and Treat at our Church. Right now she's fixin one of her famous apple pies (around our house anyways) for the pie auction tonight, I will be bidding on it.
