How many did you guys all get?

Normally we run around 20 to 25 kids.
I figured with this lovely weather we would see 30+.
Bought tons of candy. Hardly made a dent in it.
Only had 16 kids show up.

:(

Normally 60+...only 30 kids, nice night to. I’m guessing the governing system has tainted the go getters. Kids will now stay home and eat the candy the parents bough for other kids so they don’t even have to go out.
this country has gone to the dogs.

The wife said we had just over 150. Usually we get around 200. Seems like less kids on the streets this year even with the good weather.

Agreed bizarre on our street, normally 40-60, tonight 20-25. Not going to get a nicer night weather wise. Then again I seem to be living on a scrooge street, half the houses lights out hiding in the basement dick heads.

We seen the opposite of most of you guys. Our record was 2016 with 77 kids. Last night we got 119! Had to make a candy run. The lady at the store said lots of people had to come buy more candy do to lots of kids. Wife went all out on decorating the house. 20’ high cat brought the kids in!

We normally get zero and last night was no exception. We had a neighbour about 8 years ago that brought their 2 kids over two years in a row and this all we have ever had in the 17 Halloweens' that we've been here. I like the chocolate cravings that I have following the big day!!

We were in a mall in Calgary in the early afternoon. The amount of parents/kids that walk the mall getting candy was an eye opener. All dressed up and having a good time. Probably a pretty safe place to trick and treat!!

1 kid came to our place in McKenzie towne, Calgary
Not decorated up but had the lights on

Better ditch all this candy as I’m trying to lighten up my sled through the rider

they were just talking to a lady on the radio who lives in Summerside in Edmonton. She bought 1000 pieces of candy (Chocolate bars) and gave 1 to every kid, she was OUT of candy by 720 last night, and said he neighbors were still going at 9pm

Big city kids are going to the mall these days. My son worked at Southcentre last night and he said the store he was at gave out candy to 2000 kids. Ridiculous.
