I know this has happened before,
but when do you think trick-or-treating starts when Halloween is on a Saturday? I can't believe Hopey has been running things since January and still hasn't gotten back to us on this.

Roger,
You'll probably be horrified to learn that Guvmint runs this. Most municipalities declare specific times when Trick-or-Treating starts and stops.
Kinda kills the spontaneity if you ask me.
I think in my neighborhood it's 3:00-7:00. (I like it that there are suggested times--it helps the grown-ups to be prepared for the little ones who come early, and helps discourage teenagers from ringing the doorbells at 10:30 at night when the youngsters are sleeping it off.)

Rochelle in our Ohio office said they all got it over with last night.
Here in Utah, if Halloween falls on a Sunday, most towns and cities will reassign Trick-or-Treating to a Saturday or Sunday. 'Cause we can't have youngsters traipsing around as witches and ghosts on Ye Sabbath, can we?
P.S. -- It took me forever to figure out who "Hopey" is. First thought: one of the Seven Dwarfs?
Whoops -- I meant to say that Trick or Treat gets reassigned to a Saturday or Monday.
At dusk her in Canada. Happy Halloween.
One or two p.m. for the very littlest ones. Regular hours start around six and go til nine. Then comes the Half-Hour of Disapproval for tutting but still handing out candy. Then it's (porch) lights out.
In NYC it's been going on non-stop for a week :) Happy Halloween.
