I love the Hamptons in October, the trees are changing colors, the traffic slows down, the beautiful fall colors of the flowers and vegetables,Homecoming for most High Schools, the Hamptons Film Festival takes place during Columbus Day weekend, apple picking, pumpkin picking, but the best part about October in the Hamptons has to be Halloween
I love trick-o-treating in East Hampton because many of the homes are decorated and the inner child has emerged from many of these adults. I love to see so many children all dressed up and the joy that you see on their face as you open the door with a bowl full of candy. I do feel for those who have no candy and hide in their homes afraid to answer the doors because children can be merciless when you hold out on the Candy on Halloween…DO NOT RUN OUT OF CANDY…Apples and Raisins are not a winner with kids… I would actually recommend buying bulk candy so that you won’t run out of anything. Kids can get cranky when you don’t give them candy….especially at Halloween!
Children from everywhere come out to celebrate Halloween in the Hamptons, and that is because we love to make the children happy. Families go all out with decorations, many of the businesses and homeowners spend a tremendous amount of money on candy because it is possible to have over 200 kids knocking on the door saying those words TREAT-O-TRICK. Lets take a sneak peak at what’s happening this Halloween in the Hamptons.My children have spent Halloween in the Hamptons for the last 12 years and it really has been the best part of their childhood.
