because they want food without working

That being said, it sucks big time that Rmoney's presence will ruin it for the kids there.

That's going to leave a bad taste in voters mouths...really...their kids are going to be upset and the parents have enough to worry about besides THIS stupid thing...

The idiot needs to concede the entire election right the hell now.

How does that work? How can they change when people trick or treat? They can pass laws about kids knocking on neighbor's doors?

Since when is it up to city government? Can cities schedule Christmas for a different day?

many other things done during the week.

It's not like it's some government activity.

But never mind, it's not worth arguing about.

on a certain day and a certain time if you want to participate. If you are giving out treats leave your porch light on. Groups of kids go from house to house in the residential neighborhoods, knock on the door and say "trick or treat", people there give them candy. At the end of the allotted time the kids go home and stuff themselves with their candy. I don't understand why people are having such a hard time understanding this.

This is not technically a city as much as a mid size town of just over 16,000. Besides whose arguing?

Halloween falls on a Sunday. We have extremely conservative folks living here and they have issues with Halloween period, but especially if it falls on a Sunday.

I am almost 64 years old and I never recall Halloween being changed back in the 50s and 60s when I was growing up..... no matter when it fell. School night, Sunday, whatever. We went trick or treating on Oct. 31st. (I lived in Jackson, Mississippi at the time.)

Too bad Mitt's presence put such a pall on Halloween. But guess it was bound to happen. He is pretty much a kill joy.

granted, it was a holy card but still, it was a treat.

Just go out on the normal day and say to hell with Romney.

knows when the kids will be around and be ready for them. You know like having candy to hand out. It is done by city officials, the same way every year.

without being bothered by teenagers.

romney rally with a kid in costume and instructions to scream and cry because there is no trick or treat!

NOW he's taking away Halloween?! Why does Willard hate kids so much?!

same shit,not on Sunday.

Nice...

I'm glad I'm not a kid anymore. People have sucked the fun out of it.
We used to trick or treat on Halloween, period. Everyone knew enough to have candy on hand.

I remember one year, the "Christians" were all in an uproar because Halloween fell on Sunday. So they changed the Trick or Treat Day to some other stupid day.

And the kids went trick or treating on BOTH days.

Yep, they quit doing that.
