    >>>Has anyone heard about trick or treating for children in escambia county?…no body has really answered the question and cannot find anything about it for this year.

    Just like the story says, there are no official times in Escambia County. The county does not set them.

    I wonder why there was no trunk or treat when I was a kid? We used to just go from home to home in the neighborhood, knock and say trick or treat.

    Why does everyplace else have an “official” time except for escambia county? This is obviously confusing for all escambia county residents that don’t know when they are suppose to trick or treat. Also for those of us giving out candy. Should we be ready for trick or treaters for the next two nights at anytime. Come on people give us a specific time so we know when to be ready, really…Geez. How hard is that!!!

    I would assume the towns set these hours, due
    to children having school the following day.
    And that it is mostly the businesses and churches
    that are setting most of this up.
    No one has to be rude about any of it, this is a
    time to dress up with your children and let them
    have fun. JMHO

    Exactly REX, exactly.

    Official trick or treat time? Considering we live in a very conservative (Republican Party) controlled area, isn’t it ironic that we can’t even have Halloween without government interference. And we were worried about becoming communists and being told what and when to do something. How silly of us!

    everyone elses is on Tuesday, I was just making sure, no need to be rude.

  12. E.M.H on October 29th, 2012 11:57 am

  13. cmom on October 29th, 2012 11:33 am

  14. William on October 29th, 2012 7:33 am

    >>>all of Escambia county FL trick-or-treating is on Tuesday? it does not say

    It says no official times. Escambia, FL, does not set an official day or time. One would presume Wednesday would be the traditional day.

    McCullough Christian Center trunk or treat Tuesday 6:30-8:30. Fun for all ages! Its all free!

  16. smokey on October 29th, 2012 6:22 am

    “Official” trick or treat times?? How about after school and after supper from when your parents say, until your parents say? “Official” pfffft!

  17. E.M.H. on October 29th, 2012 6:19 am

    all of Escambia county FL trick-or-treating is on Tuesday? it does not say, and I thought I had heard that Pensacola might be on Wensday. Just trying to make sure so we don’t miss it.
