For many years trick or treat in this city was held on the Sunday before Halloween. For a while it was in the early afternoon that day, the last couple of years they had the sense to move it to 3 pm. This is done apparently for safety reasons, and because the kids are not in school on Sunday. It was scheduled for the same time this year. Many people were not thrilled, but if it's for the safety of the kids, nobody really argued it. Halloween is on a Saturday this year. The issue finally came up to the city leaders. Trick or treat is now going to be ON HALLOWEEN!!! There were business interests involved, but finally this city came to their senses. Here is the story.
I have to be honest, this really don't affect me and my kids much personally. My kids just can't handle costumes, and the walking around trick or treat entails. Then explaining they don't talk, and they don't eat candy anyway. As much as I love it my waistline and big rear sure don't need it! Many other activities the crowds, the sounds, and the lighting, ect is all just too much for him. It makes me sad that we can't really enjoy this holiday that to me is meant to be fun for kids. With that said, I am glad that the children of this city can get a taste of what Halloween is really like, on Halloween. Hopefully this can continue.
