About 200 or so.
If I lived in an out of the way place, I'd find a friend in the way and haunt the friend's place instead. They cover the candy and electric bills, I provide the scares.10k is a small town!? I just moved from a town of 400 people and we got just over 30 ToT's both years we lived there, this year we'll get zero, and any future years while we're in this house because we live in a tiny tiny neighborhood that is out of the way, no one comes up here for Halloween. I'll still decorate a little bit for myself and to piss my landlord off though lol.
And that's dedication!!We live in Okla City in a 100 year + neighborhood and everyone does it big here. We handed out 2900 pieces of candy one piece to one kid at a time. Last year (2013) we counted the quantities of candy in each bag (and we are talking the the cheap stuff at walmart). We had approx 100 pieces left. Including myself, we had six people helping - taking breaks. It is 3 and half hours of hard work. People we tell do not believe us, but it is true. It is something to see. With parents, it is well over 3000 people. People all over OKC drive to our neighborhood to trick or treat. The picture below is shows a bit of the chaos:

So... it's like a door-to-door version of trunk or treat?We live in Okla City in a 100 year + neighborhood and everyone does it big here.

Just tell him the cost of your addiction doesn't escalate with drug tolerance the way most other addictions do. You get your high at a fairly fixed cost every year.Damn mpalmer821, we need to get together. Are you north, south, east or west? I'm south, in the OCCC area.
I'm in Oklahoma City too. I give out a small candy bar, a sucker, and a toy. I try to keep it about .50 per tot. We count the toys, so we will know how many tots we get. Last year the toy was little pumpkins, and we bought 800. We ran out of pumpkins, about 8:00 and still kept passing out candy until 9;30. So I know last year we had over 900. This year with Halloween on a Friday night, I bought 15,000 led rings. I'm thinking we will probably get about 12,000. toters. A lot will depend on the weather. Even with keeping the treat/candy at about .50, with 12,000 toters, that's $600 just for passing out. Not including money for props every year. But I do it because I love the holiday and the kids. I tell my husband I don't smoke, drink or gamble, so this is what I do with the money I save. lol A good argument, but he doesn't buy it.
Small and large are relative terms. I grew up in a metropolis of millions, so the city of 35k that I live in is a very small town comparitively. That said I have since lived in a place so tiny it was one stop light, a bar, a convenience store and a post office outlet that only did general delivery. Maybe 100 people total?10k is a small town!?
