Rice Krispy Treats . . . same for years.

Always buy around 200 to include the Trunk or Treats. Only about $9 box of 25.

There used to be this guy in my neighborhood growing up who would BBQ hotdogs on the front lawn. Everybody got hot dogs. I would love to do that

When I was a kid one of the neighbors would roll out the popcorn machine and give that away

We used to get lots of kids. Now its only a few and the weather forecast does not look good for trick or treating.

We're a good ways out of town so we usually take the kids over to their grandad's house to trick or treat. I leave a bowl of candy on the porch for the kids that live out here, this year it's Reese's Cups, Ring Pops, and Halloween Mt Dew.

Gents,

Mrs. Hanson gets a bag or two of mixed chocolate bars and the kinders get to choose two each. Susi then takes the leftovers to the church food bank. Only a few houses are maintaining the tradition in our neighborhood; a fact that saddens my mind.

Warmest Regards,
Richard

When I was young in Houston we would get over a hundred kids at the door every year. After Ronald Clark O'Brian and Dean Coryl, things really dropped off. Less kids every year until they just stopped. We are out in the country now and the nearest house is a half mile away and the nearest house with kids is more than a mile. The town does a Trunk or Treat on the square every year and the churches have activities for the kids.
God and Texas!
