We would easily get over 500 if we stayed open throughout the evening.
We live in a nice, but not rich, neighborhood near many low-income hoods.
99.9% of the kids are bussed in, which actually makes me happy.
All parking spaces on our street were filled and there was a traffic jam with people dropping off their kids.
My SO grew up in a hood where nobody gave out candy so he really understands how wonderful it is for less-priveledged kids to enjoy this exciting event.
This year I bought $30 of lollie pops (98 cents a pound = over 30 pounds) because that rots the teeth of more kids than $30 of snicker bars.
30 pounds of candy lasted only half an hour, then we shut down.
