Halloween has come and gone. Everything has returned to normal around here except for the 6 half-full bags of candy on the counter. Since moving to the North End in 2001 we have had an absolutely erratic Halloween experience, year over year. One year we get 50 trick-or-treaters, the next 10. Is there a way to predict with any degree of accuracy the turnout one might expect to see any given year? For last night’s poor turnout, I blame the cold temperatures coupled with the Proctor Business District trick-or-treat extravaganza.
One year I had to run to the store around 8:30pm to re-up the chocolate stash, but last night I don’t think we had 20 kids at the door. Did anybody have a strong turnout last night? Anyone else harboring a massive supply of leftover candy this morning?
Kids these days…I just can’t figure ’em out. Especially the really tight pants..
