Pumpkin night

[woodland]

Quick poll

How many kids do you expect tonight?
Based off the past 5 years or so there’ll be none unless my brother brings his kids from 20 miles away. When I was a kid there was 30 kids or so that’d show up. Nobody hardly left in the neighbourhood here.

Curious what others find.

Kids carving pumpkins at the school last Friday.

None. Farm kids head to town. Carbon tax kills it for the parents. No more driving around the farm country for a few aero bars. Town is where the goods are.

Thanks to the sugar beet farmers!!!!

Haven’t got a single kid in 11 years.

More than ever around here. All the farmsteads that were abandoned ( and then some) when I was a kid have a new house on them now. Probably 20 plus most years.

None around here - wife still buys in some candy "just in case" which works for me as I get to eat it!

Under 10.

Zero in the Ghetto.

They're scared of coming into the Slum.

No grandkids to spoil yet either.

My first thought was this was going to be a thread about dating on the Culuny.

Usually none here.

Candy is ready but not sure if any one will come. When i was young there must have been around 20 of us around here that would go out. Then when my kids would go it was down to about 10. Now most of the local kids are to too old and have moved on and not really any younger ones around.
