We got two rejections of the idea all together, with one responder stating: “This is not a good idea. I am sure the residents in the nominated neighbors will not appreciate the influx of extra ghosts and goblins. I know about how many visitors I will have on Halloween, and I purchase accordingly. I will not be prepared for many additional Halloween participants.”

Maybe this is why editor Melissa Oyler’s parents made her trick-or-treat on her own street growing up?
