Are the kids going to be trick or treating this year or has it been banned?

Your favorite buddy Fauci says it is A-OK this year.

We are doing our 2nd annual Trunk-or-Treat in Ridge this year at Ridge Hardware, the American Legion, and the Ridge Fire Department. Still working on a 4th location. It was a huge success last year and many asked us to do it again so my daughter has taken the lead on this. We will post more details as we get closer to Oct 31st.

Just to be safe I got raisins and individually wrapped prunes for the too old teenagers that dont bother to wear a costume.

My buddies and I trick-or-treated through high school and freshman year of college. We would go late, when the kiddies were off the streets. We would all wear trench coats (this was after Columbine, so another layer of scary). When gentle homeowners grumbled that we are too old and not really wearing costumes, we offered to group flash them as “trick”.
Usually the ladies of the house were interested, and the gentlemen just dumped whatever candy and small bills they had to get us to go away from the sparkling eyes of their spouses. Good times, and close to historical reality.
P.S. it backfired only once, at a house hosting boozy adult Halloween party. Some old fart flashed us back. We appreciated the playful repose and gave him candy from our bags. True story.

I was going to dress up like Jason and hide in a pile of leaves with a chainsaw one year but never got around to doing it.

Watching them stumble and fall over one another was hilarious.

If I thought I could get away with running around GMR without getting shot I'd dress up like Jason and run around. I am built like him and my wardrobe is very similar. Seeing the drunks and crackheads faces would be epic.

Our 2nd annual Trunk-or-Treat in Ridge was a huge success! We had about 225 kids come down to participate! Thanks to our 7 people and 1 fire department (Webster Field) who brought their "trunks" to the Ridge Hardware location to pass out candy to the kids. I didn't make it to the Legion or Fire House to see how many trunks they had but I think they had more because they have bigger parking lots. Thanks to the community for supporting this - we had people bring candy to us at the hardware store last week to pass out since they couldn't participate. For the most part, we've got a great community in Ridge!

See??? THAT is normal Halloween. Cute kids in costumes getting candy still exists and all those freaks in the news can bite me.

And that was how this got started last year when the news freaks told us kids could not dress up and beg for candy - we said nah-uh, they can do that in Ridge and they did!
