Trick Or Treating

By: Jaydon Tate

Halloween is always a fun holiday for everyone and their families. Everyone loves dressing up cool and spooky, carving pumpkins, going to the pumpkin patch, or being able to stay out late with friends. Even staying at home and being able to give candy out to little kids. Most houses have spooky decorations or cool things on their doors to make people feel scared or have fun.

Sure all that other stuff is fun but the thing most people love is Trick or Treating. Trick or Treating was made up during the 16th century in Scotland and Ireland. They thought it'd be fun to dress up and do a dance in front of people's houses to earn candy or a toy. Trick or Treating has always been a fun thing to do even when you get older. Most little kids love doing this to get candy and wear fun costumes.

Now every Halloween season there's always kids out trick or treating knocking on door to door. They even have a new thing called trunk or treat that happens in Fruita, CO. Trunk or Treat is a thing the Fruita community does, they have a whole bunch of cool dressed up cars and have candy for kids who come. Sometimes people even spend all year picking out their costumes that they're gonna wear or even what houses they're going to. 

Local teenager Kaitlynn Manz says, “Trick-or -treating is actually really fun because I get candy and I get to be with my friends.” Another local teen Bella Miles says “I think it's really fun except for all the creepy dads, but it's really fun to go and mess around with your friends. Most people would say the same thing, and include that they like to wear different costumes. There's a lot of stories and Halloween stores that have cool candy bowls and good candy for when you get trick or treaters at your door.
