Instead of throwing candy at the little beggers this year, Steve and I came up with an awesome game we will for sure do next year.

We had a grid of numbers the size of our van. 

The kids came up and picked a number, then they'd win one of 4 prizes:.

1) Tootsie Rolls tied up like ghosts

2) Choose your own bigger candy from the bowl

3) Free Frosty Coupon

4) The Grand Prize:  Halloween Swirl CUPCAKES

Voters Count:  An AWESOME Halloween
