About a dozen local kids. Most go to town instead of driving through a rural area.

We had a couple dozen. Mostly little kids. Very cute.
Anyone want a couple bags of leftover candy?

We live in a 55+ RV resort. Only trick or treaters were two tipsy little old ladies, gave them each a nice apple and they were on their way.

Zero in 27 years.
Have a locked gate and .4 mile of STEEP driveway. I gain about 300 feet elevation in that .4 mile. (three switchbacks)
Nobody has hiked up yet....(GRIN!)

Ended up getting cleaned out of candy last night. One of my favorite nights of the year. Parents walk around with the kids, so I spent the night handing out candy and talking hunting/fishing with the dads. Doesn't get much better, IMO. Everybody is sooo bucked up in town right now.

We had about 300 last night. The previous two years it was close to 400. It's fun to watch how kids approach for free candy.

We haven't had any in the 11 years that we have lived here. As the population in our little village has thinned out, the community organized a Halloween Night celebration at the community center. They have a program for the kids, costume contests and soft drinks. At the end, all of the adults go out to their cars and pickups and open their trunks or tailgates. The kids make their rounds in their costumes in the parking lot, trick or treating for candy and other treats at each vehicle. Population density is just too low for kids to go house to house anymore.

Just came home from my son's house, in town, nice neighborhood.
T&T runs from 4-7PM, I left about 6:30 and the count was over 250 kids.
Typical, even thought it was spitting snow and strong winds. 250 ...... WOW  I got maybe 2 dozen

12....started raining bout 830.....that was it...didn't even get the bussed in or driven in kids this year....gave out BIG handfuls of candy...not much left...it will keep till next year. Ditto on 12 - in just four groups. Ditto on the rain too - it drizzled/showered all day here, pretty much killed the trick or treat action.
