Any idea if they do something similar getting to the UC?one would think, I stumbled upon this tidbit as I was searching for what times the trick or treaters would be coming to our house.

On a side note, if one doesn't want trick or treaters, disable the door bell.;) I'm waiting on a repair part for our doorbell and only later in the evening wondered why no trick or treaters had come calling.:o

I did go by around 7:30pm, lots of people & cops directing but no circus train at that time. I didn't wait around, think I'll try it on the 14th.
