Only had 5 groups of kids in Bowness, less than last year, which is surprising given the weather. Totaled 20.

Around 100 kids tonight in Grande Prairie.
Three high school kids showed up without costumes collecting food for the food bank as well which was pretty sweet. I gave them some food and they were happy to take some candy as well.

94 in Cranston ended about 8:10. Best was a homemade dragon and worst was a microwave box on a "kid" that was pressing 17

Genius! Haha. That will be my costume next year. Did he have a boom box with him?

Last trick or treater was around 9:00. I think the kid had capacity issues. Older, kind of sad to see.

Otherwise a great night.

I believe we only had 6 over in Varsity Estates.

Since there were no kids coming around I went to my neighbors' houses yelling trick or treat. Their kids who opened the door for me had no idea what to think

16 in Signal Hill.

One kid showed up at 9:15..... I'd guess he was 14. Kind of unusual.

73 in Douglasdale, which is a 10 year low for us. Took my daughter trick or treating with her friend in Auburn Bay, and was impressed by the number of kids and the great decorations on the houses. Some of the houses were running out after 250 kids. That community gets into the spirit. Also very impressed by the haunted house the RA put on in the community center.

- Martindale.
- 56 in total.
- Oldest was about 14.
- Didn't refuse any candy.
- Approximately 89% said "trick or treat." The other 11% just held a bag open and didn't say a thing. Those kids are little #######s and I surmise they have bad parents.
- We handed out wagon wheels, baby ruths, kit kats, twixx, crunch bars and coffee crisp bars.
- FYI: We hand out the full size chocolate bars. Not the thumb sized BS.
- All kids were in really great costumes.

A grand total of 8 in Patterson. Lowest it's been since I've been here.

I had that too, got a leaflet in the mail box about it that I noticed on Monday. They were pretty excited when I handed over a few cans of beans and soup.

25 kids this year. I love to judge the people accross the street who have like 6 vehicles, run their deisel trucks for hours, keep all kinds of crap out on their front yard, also have a Porsche Cayenne and pretend to not be home for Halloween. I won't be scolding my kid for chucking eggs at their house 10 years from now, I'll be making sure we have at least 3 dozen past due ones in the fridge, and remind him that we really should be throwing those out tonight.

I had almost 50 at my house. I think that's a bit more than last year. But this year it was mostly older kids. Actually I had two full Filipino families come by, where the parents were also dressed up and asked for candy. I found that kinda odd... But then again what do I know? My gf is Filipino, and she didn't even flinch lol.
