My Aunt lived in a rural area, about 45 minutes North of this city. She would go 'all-out' for the month of October, baking all kinds of treats and such. So-much-so, that she'd have pre-prepared bags to hand out to each of the neighbor kids. All of the neighbors knew eachother in this farming community, so all of the parents knew that the home-made goods were not just good, but GREAT.
We're talking about a 'real' farming community, where each house is a mile or so apart. So ALL the kids are driven around the neighborhood.
My point though, is over the years the 'word got out' and cars from further and further away started showing up at my Aunt's house on Halloween.
She was SO very proud of that. And the fact that it was ALL home-made goods that they were coming for, made her even happier.
