Halloween in Chaumont, NY, during this COVID 19 year. We were wondering what kind of turnout we would have for Trick or Treaters. Year in and year out we average about 100. I think our highest year was 115. A slow year would be 85. Most years we get a 90 to 100. Anyhow, not knowing what to expect we got prepared for 110 trick or treaters, knowing full well it would likely be slow because of the Corona Virus. We counted 53 last night. Half of a normal year.

We had a small family group here, 7 of us. The Better Half & I, her older daughter's family  of four, and a girlfriend of one of the grand sons. We had a great time. Food was Hanky Pankys, Roasted corn dip, a bar-b q beef dip, chicken wing dip, cheese & salami platter, meatballs & Italian sausage. Various beers, crackers and cherry mojitos. We also had a nice wood fire going in the backyard. The weather was pretty nice, a little cooler than some recent years, in the mid 40's.
