Hi everyone-
Just throwing this out there, is it possible to re-poll the neighborhood?
In short, if the neighborhood is wanting to explore Halloween as an
opportunity for community building and connection I think we need to keep
the holiday as inclusive as possible.
I know the initial email received a good amount of responses, but it seems
like the question limited options. It also didn’t include the many people
in our neighborhood not on the mailing list. We have a whole community that
is only on the FB page as well as many who do not participate in either
forum… they might be left feeling pretty excluded and confused when kids
are running around on the 30th.
I understand tricker-treating has historically been uneventful in the
neighborhood (for numerous reasons) and week night Halloweens are
challenging, but this whole scenario seems a little confusing. Last year
was great and maybe that was a turning point for our neighborhood
regardless of the day of the week.
On a personal note - I am left feeling a little unsure about creating a
candy map because I’m not totally sure which responses apply to which night
anymore. I plan to move forward with Rachel’s help and hope it is only fun
for the neighborhood!
That was a longer thought than anticipated :) love our neighborhood and
excited to see how it turns out no matter what is decided!

Hi everyone,
I echo Rachel's sentiments. I really enjoyed last year's COVNA Halloween
stroll, getting to meet all of our neighbors and enjoying everyone's
creative costumes in the light of day. I would *love* to keep this
annual tradition on a Saturday since most years, Halloween is on a weekday
anyway. I think it would be too difficult for working parents (myself
included) to rush home during the Halloween years that are on weekdays to
participate in a daytime Halloween stroll if we decide to always line our
stroll up with the 31st. As everyone who lives here is well aware, our hood
isn't known for being well lit at night and from past experience, that has
really hampered our Halloween tunrout because families don't feel
comfortable letting their kiddos traverse our streets at night with our
extremely poorly lit streets. In years past, our family as well as others
in the neighborhood end up sending our kids over to Marsh because the
houses are closer together and it's frankly safer, as its more well lit.
And since we don't get many kids knocking on our door anyway (because of
the aforementioned reasons), I just leave a bucket of candy on my front
landing for the few kids that come by. I can't tell you how many years we
were left with bags of leftover candy because of the poor turnout.
If we keep the COVNA stroll on a Saturday, I intend to send my kids over
to Marsh on Sunday as well and let them go wild over there. Feel free to
join us!

We will go with whatever, but the decision to make it on a Saturday was a
huge selling point for our friends and family to join us from further in
north Austin as it gave our little kiddos a Sunday to recuperate before
school on Monday. We’ll do whatever the consensus is but I hear concerns of
families with older kiddos and younger kiddos concerns.
But wait, can we have the fun table with shots again this year ;-)

I agree with Sarah, Allison, and Taya. If I could have voted for 10/31,
vote for trick or treating on Saturday so I voted no because I would rather
go all out on Sunday night. Hoping maybe we can change the date to Sunday
and start early for littles.

I tend to agree with Sarah. I'm not down for two nights of
setting tables up, as we did last year, on Halloween night. If we do a
"COVNA" event the day before Halloween, we're all stuck with handing out
candy two nights in a row, or being one of those houses that turns their
lights off on Halloween night. That's no fun.
