Thats sounds like my kind of neighborhood

There's about 50 houses in my neighborhood. Over the course of going to each one, I'll typically end up either having (or at least being offered) 5 or 6 drinks! :beer: :lol: I genuinely like my neighbors! ;)

I usually sit at the end of the driveway with chairs and the fire pit going and coctails of course handing out the candy.

We unloaded 400 pieces of candy tonight - some kids grabbed more than one, so we probably had at least 350... We had to turn the light off with an hour left to go.

Does anyone else get hit as hard as we do?!

WOW! I thought we had a lot. We gave out ~200. All from 5-7pm, then the neighborhood just went quiet.

We just live in a neighborhood in town. I think a lot of people come in from the rural parts of town - and from other towns...

This was from 5-7. We usually buy 500 pieces, but we cheaped out this year!

Same here. In fact, this is such 'the spot to come' that the town holds a candy drive for people outside of our neighborhood to give candy to people in our neighborhood. I've never taken them up on that, but I can see how fixed-income people might not want to shell out for hundreds of candy bars. Pretty cool vibe, I can see the fire station and the library from my house. They both have cider tables and other stuff going on for people.

We blew through 360, then scraped around the house, but still only lasted about an hour and a half. The number of cars and people coming through was nuts. Disadvantage of living at the start of a peninsula.

This sounds like a great community!
