Had about 25 here in Valley Ridge. Not as many as last year. I was giving out handfuls to every kid but at one point I had 2 little girls run screaming with joy to show their dad how much I gave them. It was so adorable.

About 120-130 kids. The strange thing is the last kid was around 7:15ish. Lots of kids early, then nothing.

No, it would just be a case of kids not going as far. Instead of trick-or-treating for 2 hours, maybe they are out for 45 minutes

I thought about giving out cans of Coke. On sale you are looking at about 30¢ per can, so it isn't that much more than giving out 2 small bars. But I would think the weight may not be worth it for the kid if they have far to carry their loot. I also saw a few bags and candy pails that may not have been able to handle that much weight.

I got 22 this year in Auburn Bay. I should get a ton more next year when more houses around me are built. I am on the edge of the construction area still.

Live in Riverstone, it seems like a lot of parents bring their kids here from other areas of the city.

Probably got above 200 in Garrision Woods. At one point I don't think I closed my door for 15 minutes, the kids just kept coming!

My pillow cases can only fit a couple kids in at a time, depending on size, so only a handful.

Hot chocolate is good, but one of my neighbors topped that. She was dressed as a witch and had a big cauldron of sangria that she was giving out to the parents.
