| Not a single trick or treater :( My bf and I are completely bummed. For as long as we've been together (6 years) we've lived in apts. We were so excited to finally live in a house during halloween. We were excited for the prospects of trick or treaters... But we didn't get a single one! Kona and Bernie had their costumes on and waiting.

| Awww.... poor puppies. It seems like every year there is less and less coming to my door. Now we have $40 worth of candy left to eat. |

| Luckily my bf only bought one bag, but he bought a bag with a single type of candy. I know we'll be sick of it soon. Too bad my school recently started its wellness policy...

| Awwww....I'm sorry! Maybe next year, you will have some. We live so far out in the country, we don't have any, but we make a stop at our parents and grandparents houses and it is fun to watch the trick-or-treaters. This is my daughters only chance to pass out candy.....she loves it! My "mema" has lived in the same house all of her life (90 yrs) and it was her mothers house before. They always kept a tally of how many kids they had. Up until about 2 years (or so) ago, she would have over 100, this year, she only had about 30. Course, now, there are so many other alternatives for the kids....like, free church carnivals, school festivals, Mall-o-ween, etc. Maybe you will have some next year........Your poor babies....all dressed up and ready for some fun..........I know they were cute though!

| I had less too but I think it was also because it was a school night. Also the school had a fall festival. My daughter took her two children to the fall festival at the school and then brought them here & that was it for them. |

Our numbers were down a little this year too. 67. We normally get 80-100. Hope it's not a trend. I have good memories of Halloween as a kid.

| So sorry Kona...... we love trick or treaters, too! I think that it was colder this year and peoples lives have gotten so busy....... which is a shame. We had a good turn out.... but usually get twice as many. (I sometimes think we have had too many in previous years).......... anyway....... this one is just for you........ TRICK OR TREAT!!!!! |

| We never get any trick or treaters but we live at the end of a long country road. I always have a bowl full of candy, just in case. But we always end up eating it ourselves. My older two loved to trick or treat but my youngest never did. He did not see why he should go asking for candy when there was a bowl of it at home.

| We had no trick or treaters here either. The town discourages it and made a big party this past sunday as for last two years. All merchants contributed candy and there were games with prizes. I took two grandchildren and it was really nice. Jessica |

| Sorry Kona and Bernie (and you) were disappointed. Next year you can come to my house. We had over 150 within a little more than an hour!!! With no kids living at home anymore, I actually splurged a little and bought the full-size candy bars cause Target had the bulk boxes on sale for $7 several weeks ago!! Went through all those plus another bag of candy I bought "just in case"!!!

| We didn't get many trick-or-treaters either...I was so disappointed....my bf had about 10 come to the house before I got home from work, then I had 3 when I got home and that was it...We really went all out this year too, fog machines, music, a strobe light with thunder sounds, the house really looked great, I would have thought we would have had a lot more....and now we have so much left over candy, luckily I bought all the types of candy my bf likes cause now hes all stocked up.. |

My furkids Donating Member | I had to get at LEAST 200!! I bought 9 bags of candy...and ran out in an hour and, I dont' give alot either...not that I'm cheap but we have SO many kids...We live in a very nice neighborhood so EVERYBODY takes their kids here!!! Our neighborhood even made the news one year,,,,being the biggest hit area for trick or treating....nothing like advertising!! LOL. We even have cops directing the cars...Parents park their cars up and down the road and just let the kids go..Had to bring Lillie for her last puppy shot last night and bought candy on the way home so, trick or treating had already started by the time I got home...Kids were ringing the bell and I didn't even have the lights on yet! I had kids ask me for specific types of candy, how many can they have!? I remember when I went (many years ago!) I didn't care what I got! just that I got candy...Now they are asking what you have!!

| That is bad when they ask what candy you have. I didnt have that but I do have alot of adults trick or treating which irks me. I like giving candy to the kids but i think it takes nerve for adults to trick or treat
