Halloween by the numbers

Halloween is big business in the USA: American spend $3 billion in costume alone for adult, kids and pets, while more than 40 million kids go trick-or-treating and close to 90 million household give away candies.

Park City is no exception to that trend and for the first time ever, I went out of my routine to document on video what was going on in Park City's Main Street at about 4 pm. The street, closed to traffic, was literally mobbed with kids, their parents and dogs in wonderful costumes. An impressive sight that I must revisit next year!

When I returned home, the atmosphere was much more quiet and we even managed to eat dinner very quietly. After that it was a trickle-in of little groups of costumed kids and we welcomed what I would term was an average number of visitors seeking-out the traditional candies...
