Why would it be any day other than October 31?

If someone comes knocking on my door looking for candy on October 30 or November 1...they're out of luck.

yeah, for some reason it's different in the midwest. They did the same thing in Ohio. Different suburbs had it on different nights around Halloween, but nobody actually trick or treated on Halloween. People looked at me like I was nuts when I asked when trick or treat was after I moved to the south.

Thats one of the strangest things I have ever heard. Trick or treating takes place on Halloween. That's the whole point of Halloween......

I have experienced this in two different places before living here. In addition, in one of those towns, we had fireworks for 4th of July on the Saturday before the 4th (unless the 4th was a Saturday).

I truly do not understand this! Especially when Ohio did it this year (trick or treated on Thursday.) I mean if Saturday is not the perfect day for Halloween trick or treating, then I don't know what is. Halloween should be on Halloween!

trick or treating always begins as dusk sets in. The smaller the child the earlier you should be out there.
