TOTAL: 151 trick or treaters. First caller at 5:40 pm. Last at 8:02 pm.
(Plus 22 parents and 5 dogs in costume!)
Nearly tied from last year, in spite of the Covid pandemic: it was a busy night!
Much thanks to survey help from Patricia Acheson, Anna Wedlock and Craig Stamp and all the parents and residents who took pandemic precautions with their masks, candy chutes and other remote candy delivery systems.
Best costume: Girl as basket ball net and illuminated back stop. Net was her candy bag!
Second: A huge dinosaur, twice as high as the kid wearing it.
Third: Four decades represented by four girls in homemade costumes.
Honourable mention: The two Covid 19 related costumes: the Purell Bottle and Plague Doctor.
Most popular costumes
1) Tie between two classics - Witches (8) and Skeletons (8)
2) Vampires (5)- Another classic
3) Harry Potter (5), but 8 if you include other Harry Potter characters (Hermione etc.)
4) Doki Doki Literary Club characters (5) one of whom kindly explained the video game for us!)
Other trends noted:
- Lots of fun ensemble pieces: entire cast of a video game, decade girls, Harry Potter characters
- More dogs in costume.
- Good selection of Star Wars characters
- Sadly, only a single pirate!
- Lots of video game characters
- Greater range but fewer overall super heros: Spidermen, Black Panthers, only two Batmen!
- Collapse of the once mighty princess category with more interesting range of female costumes.
