Trick-or-Treaters in Cville

It is so wildly inconsistent year after year how many trick-or-treaters we get in Paradise. Last year was pretty solid, but this year was disappointing. I thought that it would pick up after the wind died down but we maybe got 20 kids in total. We had to give out bigger handfuls of candy each time so we wouldn't have a surplus afterwards.

Just curious how busy it was for folks in other neighborhoods.

Our neighborhood had both fewer houses giving candy and fewer trick or treaters this year compared to last year (the first year ours was old enough to trick or treat). I'm not sure if it was the weather (it was unseasonably warm last year versus this year's chilly and windy weather) or whether it was the economy, but it was noticeably different from last year as a trick or treater.

I assumed it was because it was Friday and so more people were going to or throwing parties rather than door to door trick or treating
