No Trick or Treating? Yeah, Right.

No didn't mean no for hundreds of New Canaan kids who defied town orders and went trick-or-treating on Monday night. After  knocked down trees and power lines, town officials deemed the roads unsafe and until this Saturday night. However, that didn't stop many from continuing the tradition of hunting for candy.

"It's October 31. That's Halloween," said Dylan Curtin, a sophomore at . "Cancelling Halloween would be like cancelling Christmas. You just don't do it."

Those who did go out at their own risk, found the reaction mixed from those they sought candy from.

"A lot of people weren't happy to see us, they were actually pretty mad," said Ivan Vukusic, a sophomore at the high school. "They were like, 'Didn't you get the memo that Halloween was cancelled?' Other people just gave us candy and we went on our way."

A few drivers who were travelling through their neighborhoods on the way home from work, were surprised to see so many kids on the streets.

"It was worrisome," said Leonard De Paur, a New Canaan resident and parent. "I had to go around trees and kids that I couldn't see from a distance came upon me pretty quickly. It was unnerving. I was really surpised the kids were even out."

A lot of parents didn't take any chances and kept their children off the streets and safe at home.

"I did not let my children go out for Halloween," said Christina Campbell. "The safety of the kids is paramount. I abided by what our first selectman said and kept my kids at home."

Other kids and parents who wanted to adhere to the town's orders, but not miss out on Halloween, travelled to Darien to get their candy. Yet, others played it safe all the way around.

"I stayed home and didn't go out. I didn't want to get electrocuted," said Patrick Metzger.
