I was so sad after living in the city to no have anyone stop by. However, I DID NOT enjoy dragging Ben around to every member's house that had mentioned to stop by because they had something special for him. We would drive around forever. <BR/><BR/>Our church started trick or trunk a few years ago. It is wonderful. We all park in a big circle in the field and all the kids can just walk around the circle to visit people they know and trust. The community is invited, and there are many that come. It was last night, and the reformation service followed. I did not have a stitch of candy left. It was lovely! We had a meal that everyone can enjoy for free. It is a nice evening!Kristi Heinzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17259969644768565695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-8728425586871599602008-10-27T11:26:00.000-05:002008-10-27T11:26:00.000-05:00I think the assigned hours is to combat the whole ...I think the assigned hours is to combat the whole idea of going trick-or-treating the night before Halloween, or kids being out at 10pm. There's a limited number of hours, which makes it easier for people passing out candy. This was a foreign idea to me when we moved to Wisconsin; it wasn't like this in Illinois or Missouri. But where we lived before, trick-or-treat hours were on the 31st for our village, no matter which day of the week it fell upon. Up here in the metro-area, it's always on the weekend. Our township was Saturday evening, the neighboring small village was Sunday evening, and the small city with church & library has trick-or-treat next Saturday. Why? Beats me.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307213773466556564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-52590799642582048082008-10-27T11:18:00.000-05:002008-10-27T11:18:00.000-05:00This might be a silly question but why would you h...This might be a silly question but why would you have an assigned day for trick-or-treating? Isn't it supposed to be on the 31st? I've never heard of this before and it struck me as odd.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978749642618639273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34185942.post-78103699494499009922008-10-25T22:53:00.000-05:002008-10-25T22:53:00.000-05:00Well, if you need help eating those leftovers, you...Well, if you need help eating those leftovers, you have a chocolate-craving daughter who'll be at church tomorrow morning...<BR/><BR/>And I have the passes in my purse, so as to not forget them.
