The Weirdest Things Trick-or-Treaters Got in Shreveport

Did you know that trick-or-treating has been around for almost 100 years? Trick-or-treating has Been a huge celebration in America since the 1920s, but it didn't become popular until after World War II. Several people blame the baby boom for the huge jump in Halloween festivities, but we enjoy all the festivities.

We love seeing so many trunk-or-treat events in our community. The countless Halloween parties that take over several clubs and bars downtown are a blast every single year, however, one of the best experiences that I have ever had was trick-or-treating.

The first time I went trick-or-treating was in high school and I remember thinking how could I have missed out on this my entire childhood? Since then I have vowed to be part of all my nephews and nieces' trick-or-treating experiences. This year was different, I went to my sister's neighborhood in North Bossier.

North Bossier Was Packed With Families Finding the Best Candy.

If you were out with your family enjoying all the goodness of trick-or-treating you might have come home and found some odd items in your children's bag. I have to admit, we were one of the homes that hit the panic button at 8:00 p.m. The kids came in droves, I remember thinking there is no way that there are this many kids in this town, how is this possible?

In Our Panic, We Reached For Whatever We Could Find.

Did we put some tuna and potatoes in kids' trick-or-treat bags? Yes. Was that our proudest moment? No. However we know we aren't alone, right?

We asked the SBC to share the odd things they found in their kid's bags and so far this is what we got.
