Too old to go trick or treating?

This is a topic that brings in controversy at times. It has numerous discussions all over the internet and there are some communities that do not allow kids to trick or treat after a certain age. In Gouverneur, New York they don't allow kids to go trick or treating once they reach 16. Others just let you go if you want to as long as you dress up and even sometimes if you don't.

In Missouri, there is a paper called the Columbian Missourian located around Rock Bridge, Missouri that conducted a survey. They had three reports go out and trick or treat, while asking the houses what their opinion was of this issue. The ages of the three trick or treaters was: 33, 25, and 22. The answers varied widely from the youngest of 12 all the way to until you stop dressing up. They learned from most people that they don't care how old you are just as long as you dress up and have a good time.

I would have to agree with the last lady. I haven't trick or treated since i was 15 by my choice. I liked to sit in my house and hand out the candy and take a look at all the neat costumes. I don't discriminate against those who don't wear costumes, but sometime you give them a hard time just for fun. But who really cares about what you do just as long as you have fun!
