Halloween & Trick-or-Treat 2012 - Twin Cities Calendar

Trick or Treat Hours in Minnesota: There aren't set hours for trick-or-treating in Minnesota.

Maybe it's over at dusk. Or 8pm. 8:30ish. Or when there's no more candy. Or when Jack O'Lantern's lights are out... Of course, halloween will be completely over by curfew.

Wednesday's curfew is -- 10pm (age 15 & younger) in Ramsey County
9pm (age 12 & younger) in Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Scott, & Washington

Sunset will be at 6pm.
What if there was a trick or treating social app where kids could report to other kids which houses gave out the best stuff and which gave out the worst?!?
