Candy is Dandy: Trick-or-Treat is on Friday

There are 116.7 million houses and apartment building across the nation, according to the Census Bureau, and all are potential stops for trick-or-treaters. Your house is on that list.

If you prefer to skip Trick-or-treat, turn out your lights from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday because that’s when Upper Macungie’s candy-crazed kids hit the streets.

In fact, there are about 41 million children ages 5 to 14 who are potential trick-or-treaters. Of course, many children younger than 5 and older than 14 also go door-to-door for Halloween.
