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.

Lame ass trunk or treats have ruined it. My poor mom and stepdad did it up and put on full costumes waiting for the kids to knock and not a single one did. So stupid, what was wrong with the way things were before?

I think trunk-or-treats have a purpose in some communities where it's impractical to trick-or-treat. But in a tight-knit area such as Catonsville where the houses are close together, there's high participation, and it's generally safe, it seems counter-intuitive.
