mack mhe9 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Most just give the little sob's the candy. And if there are any tricks to be given out most wives won't allow that to happen. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37561-halloween-question/#findComment-265055 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Our township had Halloween last Sunday (3p-5p). They always have it the Sunday before and during daylight hours. If you want to "participate", you are to turn on the porch light. We stopped giving candy many years ago...after we had over 100 kids. The kids were "bused" in from other areas. If it was just the kids (10-20) in the subdivision, we would not have an issue. One year a guy rode his four wheeler pulling a big wagon full of kids, stopping at each house along the street.BTW, the little b....ds still ring the door bell even if the porch light is not on. 2 Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37561-halloween-question/#findComment-265070 Share on other sites More sharing options...

1958 F.W.D. Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 My neighborhood really lives it up for Halloween. It's a very festive event here. All of the adults drag the lawn chairs out to the sidewalks or sit on the front steps of the house, and hand out candy to the goblins. Some gather on their frontyards and light up the grills and cook burgers, dogs or whatever in what is usually the last cookout of the year for them (my grill gets used year round, even in the falling snow...lol) The wife and I walked Large, Medium, Small and Extra Small around for their candy but we played a game- I filled a flask with some of Mother Russia's finest, and every time we saw an "Elsa" (the ice princess from Disney's newest movie Frozen) you had to take a nip. Flask was empty in 45 minutes and wife was walking sideways. A neighbor's yard all decorated upAnother neighbor who treats kids to a book of their choice instead of candySWMBO with Extra Small in a snuggli carrier 2 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/37561-halloween-question/#findComment-265151 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Dash Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 I live at the dead end of my street, which is also the border between the borough and the township. The biggest trick is knowing which day the T or T'ers are going to show up since the days are often times not the same for the 2 municipalities. We had prolly 20-25 on the day that the borough celebrated, but I live in the township. No one showed up on our day.
