Thread: How many kids do/did you get?

Tweet

I think we got somewhere around 75-100 which was fairly average for the time I've been in AZ. I live in a HUGE subdivision with another large one growing just south of us. Believe we were short in ToT ers because they held a "teen" party at the local community center. Not sure if that will happen again next year. I'm sure it will depend on whether they stayed out of trouble or not.

We got about 100 which considering there's not many kids who actually live on our street I think that's pretty good!

Zero. Not one.

BUT! Lots of adults came by to admire the yard. One couple came by on bikes and I Happy Halloweened 'em. The lady said "This is the third time we've come by. We love to look at it!"

Other residents of my building--all very appreciative.

So, still more than worth the effort!

We got a little over 200 TOTs this year. But what's great is we had very few without some sort of costume.

We only had 38 this year. However, since it's our first year here, we don't know if that's normal or not. I'm guessing it's not, and there was something else going on, since I only had one TOT that was a teen. But, maybe people are just really unfriendly to TOTs over the age of 10 here, so they don't go out.

I also think that we were in one of those "in between" neighborhoods. I knew there was a haunted house going on the next street over(and it did well, judging by the screams I was hearing), and I was told the street on the other side of us was packed. I didn't get the chance to wander the neighborhood to se if anyone else had decorated besides us. Up until Saturday there was only one house that had a few leaf bags out, and we hadn't put anything out at all. We decided it would be much more fun to be completely stressed and do it in the dark while kids were coming up to the house.

eta: We're in Juneau, AK in I guess what would be called a subdivision. There are a decent number of families, not a ton, but not devoid, either.

My neighborhood is not known for TOTs, they all go to the fancier subdivision where walking/riding is easier. We had about 30-40 TOTs. I ended up giving double handfulls to get rid of the excess candy and still have a bunch left. My kids are happy about it though.

Well we thought we were going to have a poor showing this year; but, it turned around and turned into something new too.

2 years ago we had almost 100 Tots and a Hay ride come by, last year we only had about 6-8, and well this year it was raining. My love even got dressed up and we set n the porch and had dinner as we waited. Now here is the turn of events.... People had been driving by all week as I was setting up and well they still came by in the rain and I didn't want the little ones to get out in that cold Tennessee mountain rain so I would run out with the candy and chips and say you can drive through the (Circular) driveway and see all the stuff up close... just don't let them get into the car with you LOL.

I have a lot of sound and motion activated stuff and as the car..cars...vans... and trucks started lining up and going around the block and doing it again well I had a “drive through Haunted Driveway”... hummmmm we had over 20-30 this year and a lot of "I can't wait to see you next year we drove from ??? to this"...
Well the little lady turns to me at the end of the night and said "NOW YOUVE DONE IT"... you better get started on next year now; I know how you wait to last minute"... Ummmmm who are and where is my love???
Pssssst….. I think she had fun too.. Muhahahahahahahahah lol.

I know this sounds unbelievable but last year we had 2,400 and this year
approx 3,000. We get so many that the city closes 4 streets for 2 blocks.
It's a haunting madness!!!

Holy Cow!
now that would be fun - with 500+ it is a constant stream of kids from 6:30 until 10:00 - basically they are in a line up to get candy.
I am not sure how you could hand out candy to that many kids unless you start well before dark and go until midnight!!
