The businesses and families get together in a big central location with a big parking lot and decorate the back of their car trunks (loaded with candy) and all the kids go there. The fire department gave out almost 200 hotdogs this year - they disappeared fast and also hot apple cidar. A local coffee shop gave out over 1000 donuts and coffee! It is so much fun because you get to see everyone and everyone dresses up! I went with my sister & her car. It is safe for the kids too because as you say - dark streets, no sidewalks...<br />Cheers!

One year we had 3 kids come together (older ones, 11 or 12). No others, although we live in an area with lots of full-time residents. We didn't have a single one come yesterday (& i had no candy; decided i'd use my change jar for a treat if they came). I also didn't bother to buy candy this year.<br /><br />My experience in Big Bear is that all the folks take their kids to the Village & eschew doing a neighborhood thing. I'm simply astonished that you had so many kids! Of course, we live in rather the "low rent" district, maybe folks from this area simply take their kids to the nicer parts of Big Bear! :)<br /><br />Glad you had a good time with your family.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03272307621143522274noreply@blogger.com
