For at least twenty years of handing out candy to trick-or-treaters on Halloween I’ve set up a “station”. I place the card table in front of the screen door (and a big piece of cardboard under the table so none of my cats could sneak out) and the treats on top. That would be bowls of candy and some years when I’d also hand out comic books along with small toys placed on that table. This made it very easy for me to hand everything out. Well, at least on the Halloweens when I’d get a lot of trick-or-treaters.
