What's the latest that you think it's ok for Trick or

We have set hours of 6-8. It had pretty much died by 7:30. We went in about 7:50. We had about 120-130 TOT. I don't mind if there are older kids TOTing as long as they are respectful as others have mentioned.

9:00 pm is my cutoff.

I have a friend who will only give candy to teenagers who are not dressed up if they can answer a civics question.

I had fewer trick-or-treaters than usual. Made me sad. But more dads in costume, two of them (not together) in medieval costumes! I loved it.

The first ones came at 6:20 and they seemed to be done by 7:30. I left the lights on till 9:00 but no luck.

cakediva, those cookies are fabulous. Lucky kids. I hope you included your contact info for marketing purposes.

Every town in my area has set hours; most are 5-8 pm. I didn’t realize so many places don’t have specific times.

I wasn’t sure what to expect yesterday as we had horrible wind gusts and much colder temps, after having been in the 80s on Monday.

For the last few years I’ve been sitting outside, with a small table for the treats. I give out full size candy bars, gum, chips, cookie packs, Goldfish, etc. This time I sat in a chair inside the garage with the table positioned so the yew tree by the driveway blocked a good bit of the wind.

I had more than I expected considering the weather. Lots of really little kids early on (one could say Halloween, but not trick-or-treat), met the new neighbors and their two little ones. Older kids were mostly later. Every kid/group was really polite, although I did have two groups with kids who all asked individually about getting candy AND chips. They were polite but maybe a little greedy.

My brother called about ten minutes before I was going to close up and go inside. I was still talking to him when two last teenage girls came up at 8:02; I told them they were lucky as I was just about to go inside.

Those two made my total 60, which is fairly high for our neighborhood. We do have some kids on the street, but not tons. A fair number come into the area by car.

We haven't had many kids in a few years now. Usually they stop coming around 8, but we've had a few stragglers come as late as 9. But, 9 is our cut-off.

As for starting, usually when it starts getting dark, like around 6PM. Before, when the time change used to happen before Oct. 31st, kids use to start coming around 5PM.
