We just got back from our first attempt at something other than the traditional door to door trick or treating. See last year when we did it the old fashioned way, we were the only ones to be seen anywhere and people weren’t expecting us – more than one of them emptying their pantry because we had surprised them. Apparently in this town it is expected that everyone will go to the town shin dig on main street.
They did.
Thousands and thousands of people packed onto a two lane street for a couple of miles. The businesses pass out candy and fliers (one daughter could have been Charlie Brown with the number of fliers she got instead of candy (a la “I got a rock”)). Happily they got quite a haul and in very little time. Too bad we parked at the top of the hill and had to walk up hill to get back to the car.
