Costume Count (day one)
This is an unusual map, since I put Denmark over much of the southwestern United States. That's because Odense, Denmark sent in a costume count and the southwestern U.S. didn't. Take that, Arizona and Southern California!**and maybe others. Not exactly sure what's out there. Sand, red dirt, cactus, etc.
Anyway, here's the map of respondents:
We were definitely light this year on the count. I'm thinking it was around 500 (still tabulating). We still had a strong number of respondents, but only one person reported 100+ costumes (we normally get at least three of those, if not more), and there were quite a few sub-20 submissions.
In Grand Rapids, the weather was perfect, and we had 52 trick-or-treaters in total.
I noticed something different this year, too. For the first time, we didn't have five of any costume. Four ninjas, three cheerleaders, and after that, it was all ones and twos.
I like that. Lots of different ideas.
