I've gotten at least a dozen emails and Facebook questions about this in the last week, so here goes ...

Last year, Halloween fell on a Sunday, causing all kinds of confusion as some towns and cities moved the date for trick-or-treating to a day other than Oct. 31.

This year, Halloween is on a Monday. And I'm happy to report that ... so far ... I have not heard of any town or city in the region that is asking kids to ask for candy on any day other than Oct. 31.

In some cases, towns and cities have recommended trick-or-treating hours and declared Oct. 31 to be the day.

In other cases, officials do not make any recommendation on the date, time or both. If that's the case, parents should know that that means that kids have historically gone out trick-or-treating on Oct. 31.

So here is what I know so far. If you have one to add or know of a town that has changed the date, please post it in the comments or email it to me by clicking here.
