Hallowe'en 2022

Y'all ready for the little goblins and ghouls to show up?

I don't decorate much anymore, but this weekend I will load up the trailer with all the inflatables and get it ready to haul out to the end of the driveway.

Can't see my house/garage from the road, and I am on a corner lot, on a road that is less than 100 yards long, but I am on the 'other end' from Main Street.

So, in order for the kids to know they can come down the street (roughly 200 feet), I have a 3x5 foot sign, bright white letters on a black background "TRICK OR TREAT HERE" and I have a multi-color LED that flashes on it.

Too few kids 'go' Trick or Treating anymore due to the huge numbers of "Truck Or Treat" (or Trunk or Treat) events, but some do.

We always give out HUGE handfuls of chocolate things and sugar-only things as well as just things.

This year, I got some of those little bags to fill up.

Got 40 'sets' of bags ready to go. Each kid will get 3 total

(1) 19 mini chocolate things (with and without nuts)
(1) 11 mini sugar only things
(1) bag of thing things: 1 box of poppers, 3 glow sticks, 1 fidget thing, 3 little bubble wand things, and there is something else that I can't remember right now.

  • funniest kid we've ever had show up was a shy little kid (we were not in costumes) and we had a bench out there with a 'turkey fryer' pot full of chocolates and another big pot almost as big with the sugar candies. He was very shy, so we told him to help himself. He walked up and looked in one pot, then looked in the other pot, and back and forth a couple time, then he finally settled on the chocolates and he reached in and grabbed ONE piece out of it and put it in his bucket and started to turn away. I told him to take a handful.... then this hand that would have dwarfed bigfoot's hand shot out of his sleeve and grabbed the biggest handful! Funniest damn thing I've seen!
