This Petition is sent to all the world that celebrates the Halloween holiday. (Would of sent it sooner, but 11/11/04 will have to do.) As with all great ideas there is a woman behind this one, our young daughter. We have three kids and there has always been conflict when we have Halloween on the weekdays, and especially on Sunday. Even when it falls on a regular week night, how long can we be out and when should we stop giving out candy When we switch the observance of the (lets say it, the Halloween holiday)to the last Saturday of October, everybody wins. All the kids will be off from school and most of the parents will also be off from work. After kids parties and trick-or-treating the adults can even have some HOLLOWEEN fun. This should also be great for all businesses; from costume and supply stores, to eating and party places. We all have fought the time with masks and costumes, getting the candy and all the decorations, and finding the time to do all this. Lets move this date and make Halloween a fun time and make our life a little easier.

Weeknight trick-or-treating creates unnecessary stress for families and local businesses. Please call your town council members today to demand that they schedule community events for the final Saturday of October.

What a struggle to get the kids ready after work and after school. Stop kids skipping school the day after Halloween!

Saturday would be so much better for parents and kids who have to attend school and work.

It's hard on the kids and parents when Halloween is on a school night! It takes the enjoyment out of it.

For parents everywhere... It's very hard to get home and get your kids out the door on a week night / school night, then up the next day for school.

Halloween should be changed to make it safer for kids to trick or treat on the same day every year.

Yes!! Having to rush dinner and get the kids in costumes while trying to get homework done is just a nightmare. Saturday would be so much better for everyone.
