Halloween deflation

It’s been since 2019, and courtesy of Covid-19, that we had any Halloween candy distribution at our home. Last year we had a supply of candies placed by the front door with a message for Trick-and-Treaters to help themselves, but only a handful did, we assumed. 

This year we hoped that the number of visitors would rebound to its former glory and at least reflect our high rate inflation for the two years, namely 14%, but instead we had a 37% decrease! So what’s too blame for so few visitors? 

Probably because of poor marketing (presentation, attractiveness of the home and lack of presence on “Tick-Tock”. 

But most certainly, because kids and parents have made a habit of trick-and-treating on Main Street, Park City, during late afternoon, where their costumes can be seen by their friends in their full splendor, and also because habits and practices keep on changing. 

Well, at this rate, we’ll have enough candies till the end of the decade!
