Just got an email from the Town, in which they state that Trick or Treating will be Tuesday, Oct. 30, from 5-8 pm. They've done this before, moving Halloween to the day before. They didn't do it last year, when Halloween was on a Monday night.
Why do some places do this? I could sort of see it if they were moving Trick or Treating to a Saturday night instead of a Sunday night, because it would make sense to let the kids stay up later on a weekend night. But moving it from Wednesday to Tuesday don't give any benefit that I can see. And the only place I have seen this information is in that email. It's not up on the town website. So how many people aren't going to be prepared for trick or treaters a day early?
Anyone else live where they do this? Any idea *why* they do this?
And to confuse matters even more, the business district on Main Street is having Trick or Treating on the Saturday before Halloween.
When did Halloween become a week long holiday instead of a few hours after dark one day a year?
