My city set the time kids can go out trick or treating , do other cities and town do the same? I think it stink that my city does this, when I was kid we did not have a curfew set by my town. Kids are really losing their freedom today by Big Brother.

I've lived in cities from coast to coast over six decades, and I've never lived somewhere that set times and/or dates for Halloween. There were suggested times but nothing official. Halloween fell on Oct. 31, and that was that.

Times are different, I guess. When I was kid people would invite us into their houses for cider or hot cocoa, and it was no big deal to get popcorn balls, apples, and homemade goodies as part of your loot.

My city also will pick the day kids can go trick-or-treating. If Halloween fall on a Friday or weekend my city will move the day to a week day. A lot of cities are starting to pick the day and time and I personally do not like the city or town telling people what day and time their kids can go out! This is like a police state and the city is saying we know what is best for your kids.
People do not see that they're losing their freedom . I feel people should go ahead and have Halloween on Oct 31 , it's would be impossible arrest a whole town or city .

What's next? Change the dates of Christmas, New Year's Eve, Fourth of July?
 
We've got 120 bags of candy ready, so I hope they all show up! :lol:

I agree about the suggestions; moreover, I kinda think these cities with "restrictions" are really saying that they will have their police, neighborhood watch folks, etc on heightened patrols, etc and that those kids and/or their parents are on their own after 9pm, for example.......

Oh my, you do get lots of trick or treaters! None in my neighborhood, no children at all, I think there may be some teens. It's also very rural.

Do you eat the leftovers if any? :lol:

You're kidding! Some kids are barely home from school by 4 p.m. Most of the kids here don't even start until after 5 p.m. Do they run from house to house?

You could chop some up to use in cookies or put on ice cream. The students in middle school walked over to the nursing home so the people there could see them dresses up . So I got to see the kids too while waiting in my car for them cross the street.

Til 5:00??? how is that even remotely okay, since most parents don't get home til after 5??

When I was a kid, the early evening was when the toddlers went trick or treating and around sun-down was when everyone else started. It gave us time to eat dinner and get our costumes ready...poor kids these days...

I know--how will there even be anyone home to answer the door for the kids at that time?

I think people throw the candy at the kids as they run pass the houses .
LOL ! I know kids play spots after school or do other actives. I agree with you this is a joke, . I really feel bad for kids , they're missing being kids on Halloween. The whole things it about going out at night when it's dark out and seeing all the spooky houses lite up . People are being way too over protective about this . :roll:

I saw a school bus pass my house at 4:30 p.m., so you know those kids aren't ready for Trick or Treat until after 5 p.m. It's almost 5:30 now, and there are no kids on the street yet.
