The Vent Thread

Not nearly on par with the level of venting above but:

Didn't get any trick or treaters this year.

Are you sure your town didn't postpone trick-or-treating? It was postponed til Nov 3rd here... which feels rather wrong.

I suspect if a lot of towns in the area postponed until different days there will be many kids who go trick-or-treating a few times this week. Lucky bastards.

No, it wasn't postponed; I just didn't have any stop by. A friend of mine a few blocks over had a few trick or treaters, so they were definitely out there, just not in my neck of the woods.

I've never heard of a city postponing trick-or-treating. It's like postponing Christmas, I don't quite understand that. Do you live on the east coast or something? I heard of a mayor asking to keep children home because it was unsafe due to the mass amounts of snow, but I never heard of a city literally postponing it and giving another official date the trick-or-treat.

My city has a local law that prohibits Halloween on Saturdays/Sundays. So for the last 2 years, it's always been on Friday instead. So yeah, it's a pretty popular thing to move it apparently. O_o

Why on earth is it prohibited on the weekends?

The smaller towns around my City do that too because of religion and Sunday, the Mormons/Hutterites demanded it of them because we have a lot of Mormons here as well as Hutterite colonies.

Saturdays becasue of drunken teenagers/partiers. Sundays because of church services in the evening. Or at least that's what they pitched to us in the newspaper. >_>

Wow that's crazy. I can totally respect doing that I guess, but in my opinion it's a bit ridiculous, considering not everyone in my town or any town I know of is 100% Christian or Mormon or whatever. I guess there's probably some small towns like that, I don't know? Would have to be a pretty small town. But moving Halloween from its intended date kind of defeats the whole purpose. Just don't participate in it, I don't see the big deal o_O
Bu then again I'm not a very religious person, so I don't know.

I can't recall the day ever being changed here before.

Worcester and many other communities worried about slippery roads, darkened streets, downed tree limbs and power lines have postponed trick-or-treating until later in the week.
