When is TOT'ing?

MarcyIam

Anyone know when the kids will offiicially be doing Trick-or-Treating out on the streets this year?  Sometime this weekend?  Or Monday on actual Halloween?

I'm in Albany if it makes a difference.  Not sure if there's an official place to look this sort of thing up?  ha  I just need to be prepared.  ;-)

Do people generally TOT on a day other than halloween?  I know malls sometimes do something but actual neighborhood TOTing should be on the holiday. I am not handing out any candy to a kid that arrives on my doorstep prior to the actual day.

Every so often they DO have it on a different day. That happened several years ago I remember, but I don't remember what day or why.   I'm in the Albany area, also.. I THINK it's on Monday, just because that's when the malls are doing it, too? And, it usually coincides with that.  (because we usually do the neighborhood for a bit, and then the mall when she gets cold). 

I'm trying to find it, though, and can't. It doesn't appear to be anywhere online. Usually the newspapers will have the hours, and the online news sites.. but I don't see it yet. I imagine maybe tomorrow?

I was under the impression it was always on Halloween. The zoo does it a week or so earlier, but for the neighborhood, I've only seen it on the actual day.

I have never heard of it being any other day than actual Halloween! Monday here in the ROC!

It's Monday here too, from 6 to 8.

But I did read that in Connecticut they are thinking of always having Halloween on the last Saturday - to make it easier for families.

Personally I don't think you should move the actual holiday, since there are reasons that it's on that particular day, but I don't see a big deal in moving TOT'ing to a Saturday.

It's usually up to the municipality. Colonie has always had it on Halloween, and my parents would have said something if it's different this year.

My town does it on Halloween.

Well, I am taking dd to my grandmas' and my parent's houses on Sunday.  But that is bc I work till 9 on Monday night.  So it is more just so they see the costume.  Otherwise, she will do a few houses with DH on Monday evening.  I would think it is weird if some random kid comes over Sat or Sun.

Thanks everyone!  I was assuming it was Monday but thought I should probably double check.

Wendy - did I know you were from Colonie?  That's where I am now so good to have the inside info.  ;-)

Yep, I am, but not sure if we ever talked about it.

It's Halloween night here, no matter what day of the week. DH is from buffalo (west seneca) and they always did ToT on Beggars Night (the 30th). I had never heard of this before him!!
