We didn't have a single Trick-or-Treater and the house was decorated to the nines inside and out. We live on a 5 acre lot amongst 25 other 5-7 acre estate lots but it seems the kids of today can't walk the 300 feet between homes to hit us up. Halloween is now a melancholy night for us because we used to love all the kids that came for the Spooktacle. Our first and second homes were in cookie-cutter neighborhoods where we'd get 80-100 of the little boogers and greatly amused the kids with our lavish decorations, sound effects and lighting effects plus our challenge of having them preform a trick for a substantial upgrade to the 2-bar outlay we typically provided.
Mrs. Brew would be dressed for the event and we were always the house that the kids wanted to visit. We used to have parent's that brought their kids back to visit us even after they had moved elsewhere in Noblesville. Our first year in our current house, a single child from two houses over got driven by his dad in a golf cart to say hi and for his effort he got two bags of assorted snack-sized chocolates. Oh well, as homogenized as they seem to want to make the whole Halloween experience, I just wonder if the holiday will make it past the current decade. Brew

We wanna see what shoes you are wearing with your outfit, Odi.
I've given up getting candy for Halloween. We have only a few kids on the block and most don't know I'm even back here. I'm a house behind the big house.
My next door neighbors brought over their son (a penquin) and baby daughter (teddy bear) over this year. So they got apples.When their dog heard us talking over here, their dog (Ben's bestest friend), she started whining cause she couldn't figure out why she couldn't come over so I went and gave her a treat too.
