Monday, October 31, 2011 is Halloween and many in Utah are planning to take the children treat or treating. On Monday, trick or treating begins when the sun goes down, and the weathe forecast for Monday looks good.
Trick or treating is fun for kids and they truly look forward to it every year. They love dressing up and showing off, but most of all they love the candy. Trick or treating usually starts early for the youngest kids around 6 pm, and the kids who are a little older may start around 7 pm, and the oldest kids (and adults!) usually go around 8 pm.
Malls are generally good places to get a lot of candy in a short period of time, indoor malls are great on nights that are cold.
Tips for trick or treating:
Porch lights – if they are on this means they have candy to give out. If the porch light is out they are either not home or out of candy. Each child usually takes one or two pieces of candy. Some people may encourage the children to take several pieces (especially when they want to get rid of as much as possible).
The kids should have some type of reflective clothing on either on their person or on their trick or treat bag.
If you are giving out candy, it is best to have individually wrapped pieces and do not give out homemade food items. Parents have to be careful about what their children are consuming and that it is safe. And parents will not let their children eat homemade food unless they know you.
The weather report for Halloween in Salt Lake City is predicting between 50-60 degrees Monday night. A costume that is warm and cozy might be best.
