Not to many, I live in town but there just weren't so many. My boss lives in the country and what they do is the people get together and figure out how many kids there will be and each house bags up candy for that many kids and then they take the kids on a wagon ride to each house to collect the candy. I thought that was such a great idea; one swoop and all is taken care of and you don't have to spend all night waiting to see of another child shows up.
