NH sounds about right. I remember my aunt there talking about "trick-or-treating" being held at the local fire station. It wasn't the usual idea of going door to door.

Yeah, being from NH, we always looked up in the paper to find out what the times, dates and special requirements were this year.. so I'm sort of baffled as to what to do here :)

AFAIK, nothing special. Most of my life (all of which has been in Boston or the Metrowest area), Halloween trick-or-treating has been a 6pm-8pm thing, with some families being out a bit earlier or later. Houses with porch lights on were fair game; a turned off light indicated no candy was being handed out.

I imagine that the local papers will indicate the particulars, but in this area I would be surprised if the holiday were handled differently.

I lived on Conwell Ave (off Curtis) for two Halloweens and was always amazed at the number of kids we would get. At first I was snacking on the candy and letting kids grab from the bowl.

As the night got later and more and more kids kept appearing, I stopped reaching into the bowl myself, and made sure to limit each kid to just one piece.

As it turned out, I ended the night with exactly one piece leftover.

I think it helped that Conwell is a very long street with not too much traffic, and a lot of families. Sounds like prime Trick-or-treating area right there.
