Continue to download and print (FREE) the two trick or treat Halloween Signs for your non-commercial purposes. They are pre-sized to fit perfectly on a page. Red always prints better on glossy paper. Save the pictures on your computer, so you can email them to those you care about. Please let everyone know. By the way, we continue to thank the appropriate teachers’ groups, government orgs, all assoc's and everyone that's spreading the word about this universal solution. A little effort goes a long way. Thank's for following us to our new website name address. Bandwidth issues at this time of year force us to reduce the scope (pages) of our website for a little while.

History: We wanted to solve some trick or treat issues that have been in place for years. It wasn’t all so much about Halloween Safety. It was really about making the “Halloween Fun” more efficient. Parents will still send their costumed children to knock on doors where nobody answers. Some homeowners, who can’t participate for one reason or another, will feel bad and some will feel annoyed. And it simply wastes time and disappoints the wonderful little costume wearing spiderman, bunny, vampire, ballerina, angel, witch, pirate, skeleton, etc. By the way, there are more and more municipalities that are shortening the time period for the trick or treaters to get out there. We need to have more fun in a shorter period of time. Putting your porch light on and remembering to use the signs is very helpful (neighborly).

After years and years of our toying with ideas to do this, the internet came to life. We had many good solutions that didn’t seem to be on the mark. Our quest died down until some years ago. It was an Oprah Halloween show which inverted the way we looked at this problem. And it re-awoke the sleeping giant to get this done. We asked for help by sending out chain e-mail. It worked. We were sent a lot of "symbol" ideas. Katie my heroSo many were creative, but off target. One stuck out. Katie (my hero) layered the letter C (for Candy) with a symbol. She was on to something. That early symbol set grew into those we are using today. We did a big voting and they won by a landslide. Everybody loved them and we knew we had winning symbols. Katie is a great spokesperson for us when she's available.

FUNNY...

We strongly recommend that you use the “Halloween Sign No Candy” if you are home and cannot participate. Our favorite reasons this year for using the “Halloween Sign No Candy” :

1.) Can't think about candy this year. WallStreet got us. We may have to sell the yacht to keep the horses.

2.) Our crazy dog barks and goes nuts when the doorbell rings. He already hates the mailman. Not you, too.

3.) I am a telecommuter, working from home. I have a deadline and I cannot be disturbed until lunch or dinner or Rachael Ray.

4.)We're ovulating and so we're going to be a little busy. No worries, I love my Cowboy and we certainly have the Halloween spirit, Yee-ha giddie-up. I'll say this once, in the nicest possible way... stay away from my door and next year I'll get to introduce you to our newest trick or treater ;-)

5.) We gave Grandpa Regis 4 hours worth of candy treats. He gave it all away in 30 minutes. You know what I’m talking about ‘cause you’ve all been there.

6.) I work the third shift and I need my sleep. My nickname is Bear and all you have to do is imagine my front door is the entrance to my cave and I am hibernating. Wake me up and I'm eatin' your candy.
