Halloween Happenings!
October 27th, 2012
Fall is here, and so is all the fun that comes with it! Check out what we've got at the office to celebrate!
Candy Guessing Game 
It’s time! Our annual Guess-How-Much-Candy-is-in-the-Jar game! The person that can guess how much candy is in the jar wins not only the jar of candy, but the giant spider hanging above it in the office! (Not to mention a goody bag full of fun orthodontic prizes, and of course, a toothbrush to use once you’re done with all that candy). Guesses have been pouring in all month, but you still have until 4pm on Halloween (Wednesday) to submit your guess! Whether you have an appointment or not, stop by, say hello, and try your chances at winning!
Candy Buy Back
Also, if you’ve been around the office in past years, you know that our ANNUAL HALLOWEEN CANDY BUY BACK is just around the corner! This is our 14th year and we will be holding it on November 2, from 4pm-6pm in the office.
For those of you that may not know what our Halloween Candy Buy Back is, here’s how it works…. Kids bring in their Halloween haul of all that sticky, gooey, chewy, crunchy candy and get paid for it! For every pound of candy that the kids bring in, we pay them $1 (up to 5 pounds). And they walk away with a goody bag with stickers, pencils, coloring pages and, of course, a toothbrush!
But not only is this a sweet deal for the kids, but for every $1 we give the kids, we’ll match that $1 and give it to the participating school of their choice. As members of the Carlsbad community, we love this chance to give back to schools and give back to the kids (not to mention, our chance to get all that sugar away from their teeth)!
So what do we do with all those pounds of candy we buy back? We donate to Brother Benno’s kitchen in Oceanside. So instead of one kid consuming all of that teeth-threatening candy, one or two pieces are distributed with each meal and all that sugar is spread out.
This fun, healthy event is open to children throughout the community, so invite your friends!
We hope you are having a Spooktacular October and hope you'll come haunt our office soon! Happy Halloween!
