How to Handle Trick or Treating

[Clonehomer]

So those of you with young kids that aren't making it to Ames tomorrow, what's your strategy for the game? DVR it and get the brownie points, or tell your spouse to take the kids trick or treating?

Go tonight and call it good.

Go at four.

 

[CyCrazy]

Roland is tonight so I am good.

Ames is tonight. Who has trick or treating on Saturday? That's just weird.

 

[CyStalker]

Go tonight, Ankeny has beggar's night from 6-8.

Reason #14 to not have kids.

LOL

From what I've heard, most of the country does trick-or-treating on Halloween night regardless of what day of the week it falls on. Apparently scheduling it for the Friday prior is what's weird, even though that's what I grew up with.

Yeah that would be like opening presents on Xmas or getting your Easter basket on Easter. What type of weirdos do that stuff?

I'm bringing candy/treats to the tailgate lot to share with any kids who are there tomorrow.

Is this your tailgate vehicle?

We are going tonight but I'm debating whether to have the kids wear their costumes for the game too. Might be kinda fun trick-or-treating in the lots.

This is true. Grew up in Ohio & we always did it Halloween night.

This is correct. Trick-or-treating is done on Halloween. Doing it any other day is just wrong and weird.

Grew up in MN and the same thing here. Trick or treat was always on Halloween night.

 

[clones26]

Trick or treating in tonight...I plan on begging surrounding tailgates for beer tomorrow

 

[Tailg8er]

Yeah, definitely a weird central Iowa tradition to do trick or treating the night before.

 

[Aclone]

Grew up in Muscatine, and always figured that there was a reason that the night before Halloween was called "Beggar's Night", rather than Trick or Treat. Never wanted to be a beggar.

Ahhh, so you were a chooser.

I grew up 2 hours away in Cedar Rapids and that's how we did it. It's only a dumb central Iowa thing to not do Halloween on October 31st. Des Moines can't figure out how to do the 4th of July on the 4th either.

Davenport is finally moving to October 31st, because no other city in the area did it the night before.
