The Big Night is tomorrow night. I don’t know if you are expecting huge crowds of Tricksters because it falls on a Saturday Night, but we are. Every year we go through about ten pounds of candy. How many kids do you plan for?

My new nieghborhood only produced about 25 kids, so I had lots of left over candy. People where asking about the previous owner and welcoming me to the area. I told lots of the kids that the previous owner was still here haunting the place as a ghost.

That is an interesting question. We should really come up with some suggestions. What about giving it to a shelter that takes families, so that there are some goodies for the kids?

A food pantry? I would say a police or fire station, but those guys don’t need it either. Maybe a battered woman’s shelter, or a regular shelter. Somewhere where they could get pleasure from it.

Well she can roll over, but I can't get her to fetch yet.

Only if they can find something to munch on.

I second the shelter option or a community pantry because the parents might not be thrilled if someone is randomly passing out candy to the children after Halloween.   With pre-wrapped candy, a shelter or community kitchen would probably save it for Christmas stockings etc. etc.   and it'd be appreciated.

I appreciate it but I wouldn't pass out candy without first asking for parental approval.

Most of the kids end up at my house where the school bus stops to pick them up they set on my front porch and some of them are related too me... Their parents have no problem with me giving them candy maybe in your neighborhood it is different but we have a close nit neighborhood...  ///Letdown
