This. Don't do it next year.
That said, we did a trunk or treat in my town three years ago and ran out of candy. Couldn't believe the number in line. There were plenty of adults in line, too, wearing s••t-eating grins but still took candy.
It also happen to be a warm evening with a thunderstorm! But they still kept coming. No adults called it off! My main memory was of a young teen girl crying her eyes out so I asked what was wrong and she said she was so afraid of thunderstorms-yet she was still going down the line getting candy...
We don't do it anymore.
