History Link
This is a GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT. We wanted to improve a never ending trick or treat issue. It was about making the “Halloween Fun” more efficient. Parents will still send their costumed children to knock on doors where nobody answers. Some homeowners just can’t participate for one reason or another. Some will feel bad and some feel annoyed. After years of toying with ideas to do this, the internet came to life. We had so many terrific solutions that just didn’t hit the mark. Our quest died down until some years ago. It was an Oprah Halloween show (The Oprah Effect?) which inverted the way we looked at this. 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. So many were creative, but off target. Luckily, one stuck out, way out.

Katie (my hero) layered the letter C (for Candy) around a symbol. She was on to something. That early symbol set grew into those you see today. We did a big voting and these were the favorites by a landslide. Everybody loved them and we knew we had a winning design and a terrific concept. Katie (right) is a great and charming spokesperson for us. Using these FREE Halloween decorations and your porch lights is very neighborly. By the way, towns are shortening the daylight hours allowed for the trick or treaters to get out there. We need to have more fun in a shorter period of time. Cold-Rainy? No problem. This helps.

Slight variation sign designs are also hosted at this box-link: Download and print your FREE Halloween sign decorations for trick or treaters. Glossy paper works nicely;-) Save the pictures on your computer. Share with your friends/neighbors/organizations and work, too.

FUNNY... If you are home and all out of candy, wouldn't it be nice to let the kids know? Still our favorite funny reasons for using the free halloween decorations: “No Candy” Halloween Sign symbol. 18% surveyed use these.

1.) Can't think about candy this year. Wall Street 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 gave Grandpa Regis 4 hours worth of candy treats. He gave it all away in 30 minutes. You know what I’m talking about because you’ve all been there.

5.) 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 eating your candy.
