Fall is in the air this month, and the trees will begin to change colors. Be prepared to see Century Orthodontics staff in their Halloween Garb. Remember to wear your costume this month and receive an extra coin and maybe even a photo on the wall of Fame. This month is our newspaper’s sixth birthday!! The statue of Liberty’s birthday is October 28th. Who could forget Halloween on the 31st?
Candy Buy Back
For our patients in braces Halloween isn’t always as fun as it used to be. Braces really do take the bite out of chewy candies. So if you bring in your sticky chewy candy from Halloween, we will give you extra coins.
Haunted Places
This website has haunted places all over the United States and the rest of the world. So if you are looking for a good scary story or places to experience a fright, the shadow land is a great website.
Boss’ Day
Please remember your boss on October 16th. Let them know how much you appreciate working for them. Don’t forget to bring them something sweet to help seal the deal.
October Festivals
There are many ways to enjoy this harvest season. Here are some things to think about: Hayrides in Castlewood Park, Boo at the Zoo, and Twilight Tuesday.
Fire Month
October is fire prevention month. Please remember to change the batteries in your smoke detectors and plan a route out of the house and a safe location for the family to meet. Remember only you can prevent forest fires.
