Maybe 20-25 so far. Including one couple walking around with a 4-month old. Some people hand out adult treats, we don't. We've got about 90 minutes left of official trick-or-treat time, we're about 1/2 the level of 2019.

We just got mobbed. Last year? Crickets. This year looked like something out of the movie ET.

Fortunately the candy just held out. Barely.

Neighbors across the street playing "I want candy" on radio.
I got guitar and started playing same on porch. Fun times.

When scary kids showed up, I'd play psycho killer....

^^^ What's your typical give-out for each kid?

I remember when I was that age....the worst treats were apples..or some gave a few pennies instead of candy.

When I was younger we lived in town. My mom made doughnuts to hand out on Halloween. She'd start at 7 a.m and we'd powder and bag before trick or treat started. We'd be out of doughnuts within an hour. My mom and my grandma Gordon were both known as "the doughnut lady". Good memories.

When I worked at a local autobody shop, a guy who worked there would give a me Coors quart for a doughnut on Halloween. Again, good memories.

The most fun was busting the neighbors who had already come through once and were trying to get another doughnut.

Usually, it's play by ear.
The kids were pretty good, usually helping themselves to one piece each. Early in the evening, I was encouraging more, but we had to reel back because there were hoards of kids coming in.

The best of the evening was a young kid dressed as the American flag. He was 3-4 years old. He looked up at our house and about cried. My wife's American flag was wrapped up over itself due to a windstorm earlier in the day. It really upset him. I ran over and unfurled it. Very touching. You'd think fixing it would have made him happy. OH NO!!! We are on his s$%^ list!

None so far. It's just about dark, so who knows what may come our way.
