🚗 Candy Hangovers Anyone?

🚙 Celebrating the spooky season with our favorite folks: you!

TOGETHER WITH

We didn’t join in on the festivities yesterday because we dont care if everybody knows what we dressed up as (Samurai Farmer, 24 years in a row).

We care about what you care about: your community. So we spent some time today celebrating the focus and attention you gave your team, customers, and community on the spookiest day of the year.

Enjoy and…

Keep Pushing Back
-Paul, Kyle, Chris & Kristi

🧽 Gwat Thrilla’s Tunnel of TERROR

Our pal Bob Grissom sent us some great pictures from the Gwat-Thrilla haunted car wash. Check em’ out!

We asked Bob has the event went:

“Over a 14-hour span (4 nights X 3.5 hours), we had around 250 vehicles go through Gwatthrilla; most of those vehicles had at least two people in the car or more!

Thanks, Bob Grissom.

*Please remember, once you are in the TUNNEL OF TERROR, no one can hear you SCREAM!”

We guess she stayed in last night. 💀 

Always good to see y’all do good, Valley Hi team!

Think Halloween is just about candy and costumes? Think again. Dive into the quirky history of Halloween, from ancient Celtic fire festivals to modern-day trick-or-treating sugar rushes.

Want to know why people dressed up in animal skins to scare off spirits? Or how Pope Gregory III tried (and failed) to make Halloween a bit more saintly?

We’ve got you covered with snark, wit, and a few “wait, what?” moments.
