We did as we always would and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people that did same.
No mask wearing, no nonsense. Just going door to door and getting candy.
Was it similar in your area?

I passed thru our small town last eve.
Kids and parents everywhere!
No non-costume masks.
One church was set up for the trunk or treat.

Went to the MIL's house since she lives in town. Turnout was down from last year but there were still a fair number of kids. I only remember seeing one mask. The kids were happy and we received more than one heartfelt 'Thank You' from the parents.

The kids candy bags have never been so full.
They even got a can of Shasta Cola each!
The cops were driving around handing out candy as well.
I am sure the local Covid Snitch Squad was having a stroke!

We had more than normal and loaded them up heavily. Probably responsible for several cases of diabetes.
Broncos are officially the worst team in the nation this year.

We went with the kids and there were plenty of people around. I think maybe less than previous years, but it may have been the time of the day/night. Still plenty of people out. Noone every comes to our house, as we are the last townhouse on a cul-de-sac and apparently the 100yds walk from the street is too much to get to our door.

We had several dozen trick or treaters, about the same as last year.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Our neighborhood was crazy last night. Kids and parents everywhere, we had a block party. Was shooting candy with my air cannon...kids trying to catch it. Was a good time.

Here in California Suburbia, there was almost none. eleven kids, and they were all older.
I took my twelve year old and her girlfriend out (her father died in a motorcycle accident a couple of years ago) and my nine year old. About twenty percent of the houses had lights one, but there were almost no kids out.
There were about three house parties.
Everyone we did meet were friendly. The Hispanic families from the other end of town did not show up.
Somber in California.

Our last TT'er was over 20 years ago. They were the kids from next door who now are taking their own kids out. 'Next door' here is a relative term.

Same as always, 10 years and not a single trick or treater ever but that's what happens when you live in the sticks.
Remember why, specifically, the Bill of Rights was written...remember its purpose. It was written to limit the power of government over the individual.
There is no believing a liar, even when he speaks the truth.

Guessing probably about 1/3 less trick-or-treaters this year than what we normally have. I started handing out treats by the hand full the last hour or so trying to get rid of as much as I could but still have a bunch left over. Some kids and parents wore covid face-masks, some didn't, maybe 50/50. Our official time for trick-or treating was 3pm till 6pm but still got a few on up to 6:30pm.

Not very many here but I had a mask and gloves on.

We had two kids looking for a handout. Fortunately, we bought candy that we like.
