- What role do costumes or trick-or-treating play in a business?
- How did the organization where you are interning deal with Halloween?
- What is an appropriate age for kids to stop trick-or-treating?
-I think Halloween is a great time for businesses to outreach into the community. It gives them a great opportunity to advertise and put out a good name for themselves. When businesses open their doors to trick-or-treaters it is a safe, fun environment for the family that encourages them to come back. Likewise, costumes are a great way to lighten the mood and make the business a fun and free environment for that day.
-The organization I work with did not dress up with Costumes for Halloween (however, the children staying at the shelter did dress up). The Kids that are staying at the shelter went out trick-or-treating and brought back a bag for everyone to share. It was a fun atmosphere to see the kids dressed up and excited about Halloween. The staff also got a chance to share pictures of their kids and families to the people at the shelter. I was there the day after Halloween and it was a good topic of discussion for the people there.
-I think that there is not a definite age to stop trick-or-treating. I would not feel comfortable as a college student to go out and knock on doors. I stopped trick-or-treating when I was in middle school and I think that by high school you are too old to be trick-or-treating. I still don’t know where I stand, I would still give candy to anyone who came and knocked on the door :)
