Pat, That was so much fun for us. The only trick we ever got was a dog bone from Chat Hoffman a jokester. We just laughed and bombarded his house. Most times nothing bad happened, I did break a finger running away, fell down the hill after ringing a doorbell. Oh yes, be darned I fell in those days too. Wish we could go back, but we know we can't. Will have to have house parties that are supervised.
