When to expect the little Goblins and Ghouls at your
door?This has gotten tougher to determine. It used to be about an hour before dusk... but here are a few tips....
|
If the local Park and Rec department is having a Halloween Fair, don't expect the little goblins until after it ends. However, the closer you are to the park, the sooner after the close the kid's festivities you will see them. |
|
If the local part doesn't have something, you may see them as early as 4pm so that the parents can get the kids back in the house before the city's real ghouls are out... so if you come home early to change into your costume for the evening parties, have a bit of candy around for the neighborhood young ones. |
|
If you're in an apartment, you'll have very few beyond the building's kids... and the kids will be heading out to parties, especially if you have a security gate. |
|
If you've got a house near a heavy apartment area, and you're looking for lot trick-or-treaters, decorate you house with flare and leave your lights on late. You'll get batches at all different times. They won't stop until you turn out the lights. |
For the trick or treating youngsters and their parents
