What can be more depressing than getting a rock in your trick-or-treat bag? How about this e-mail, sent from my town's superintendent:
"There are a little more than 1,000 homes in Candyland without power. While the storm is over, there are still downed trees and live power lines throughout Town. As such, in light of this evening being Halloween, the Chief of Police and our Emergency Management Team are strongly advising residents not take children out this evening for Trick or Treats. Accordingly, the Town of Trumbull is determining a make up date for this annual event.
Once the Town determines that all downed power line and tree limb issues are resolved, a new Halloween date will be scheduled for later in the week. Residents will be advised of this date as soon as it is determined.
With predicted high winds, tree limbs and downed power lines are still a major issue. In the interest and safety of our children and parents/guardians, we believe the above course of action should be considered."
A make-up date? You can't make-up Halloween! Stay tuned, folks. It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings.

That's pretty funny because the same thing happened in my town and our house lost power and my brother was in the process of applying to college. Luckily, some colleges extended the deadlines! And... yeah, no candy is very upsetting :(
Ummm, you can't "make up" Halloween!! It isn't like a school day that is cancelled.....are those people crazy??
