Halloween/FrontRoyal
Not as exciting as an earthquake, but mildly entertaining, the annual Halloween invasion at our house in town. Because the majority of the area is sort of rural with houses spread far apart, the 2 densely populated areas are visited by all trick or treaters, and we happen to be lucky enough to live in one of them. Our neighbor actually counted them this year (only the kids not adult escorts) and the total was 575 give or take a few. The town sets the time 6:30 to 8:30 so its pretty packed for 2 hours. There was actually a line in the driveway at times and the streets are unofficially pedestrian traffic only. We have a few friends over for the spectacle and sit out in the driveway handing out candy and admiring the costumes. Its a great time. The little ones are so cute in their costumes, and even the big kids get into the action we seemed to have quite a few high school kids, one group of 5 sang a nice Christmas song for us.

Oh Come All Ye Frightful? We counted our trick or treaters also: zero. I believe we've had one in the last 10 years, but we still get candy just in case. Like your other neighborhood, the kiddies and parents have just determined it's not cost-effective to go down our street. Leaving the dogs out might also have something to do with it.
