The children in my little town are supposed to go to main street and people who want to pass out candy go there also. The police block off the street and people pass out candy there. It is like a mini parade for the kids. It is really a good idea. Children don't go from house to house for safety concerns. There are also a couple of churches that do activities and give candy, but they don't celebrate it as Halloween because of their beliefs. Another small town does trunk or treat where the people pass out candy.
