Halloween can be done safely, I will place treats on a table outside our front entrance and kids can take one each if they visit. I expect less children this year but I will have candies just in case - chips or chocolate bars may work best. Forecast for weather is dry but cold at 5 degrees C. for Saturday evening

 

Seriously Levi?
We just had a half foot from a snow storm. We are a small town with narrow streets.
And all of the towns around us are Covid Hotspots.
but you know, what can i say? i guess they are just a bunch of debbie downers trying to keep our kids alive.

 

Up here Halloween isn't cancelled though some of the bigger organized activities have been and others, supposedly safer, have been added. I was just wondering how close your area was to being shut down.

Worse weather than Canada, lol. Bolton MA ?

 

We are "lights out" this year. Halloween was not cancelled, but it's going to be cold. I don't want to be handing out candy, nor do I want to hang around on the porch while kids take candy from a bowl. I tried putting a bowl of candy several years ago. Thelma (our cat at the time) used to hang around the door waiting to make an escape. I didn't want to keep opening the door, so I put out a bowl with a little note asking kids to take one or two bags of M&M's. We'll just say the candy didn't last long at all. I think some kids might have ignored the note.

I do feel bad for the kids.

 

Ironically after living here for 24 years and never having any trick or treaters come I think I may have some this year due to my neighborhood turning into Leave it to Beaver land since the influx of people have moved here this year.

 

We left a bowl of candy out one year as my wife and I both wanted to go out with our son on his first Halloween. I left a sign for kids to take one candy each, and we left enough candy to do 4 times the normal traffic load. We were only out for a short while as our son was very young, but our large bowl was cleaned out very quick. I wouldn't doubt if the first kids who visited took the entire bowl in one swoop. We were disappointed by that.

 

I'm going to yell at the kids and tell them to get off the snow on the lawn

 

It is business as normal here. There are times I thank God we are not on the East coast or the West coast! Nuff said.

 

No and nothing. Spread out homes and a long steep driveway.
