Holiday merriment was in full swing on Halloween at Laidlaw’s this year; with trick-or-treating, two Halloween Costume Contests, great food, and not to mention the California Gold State Synchronized Skating team and their raffle of new motorcycle. Laidlaw’s goes above and beyond to make their customers feel welcome and part of the family; this occasion was no different. Not only were there customers participating in the fun but staff members joined in the Halloween amusement as well by dressing up in creative costumes, and passing out candy to our younger guest.
The excitement lasted all day; each and every separate event played its own part in keeping our customers entertained and willing to stick around. The California Gold Skating team kicked things off with music, booths, as well as enough lunch to go around. Contestants of the contest were to come to reception to register themselves and have their picture taken. Each contest had original ideas and wonderful costumes to show off. I was pleased to see that my sister brought in my nephew to join in. Each department made him feel welcome and all of the festivities surely made his day. In the adult costume contest I was particularly impressed with our first prize winner Anthony Mancilla, as the energizer bunny.
The day’s entertainment lead up to main event, the California Gold Skating Team had work almost all year in order to raffle away a Harley-Davidson and in hopes to raise enough money to reach their goal, the chance to compete. The girls also held additional raffles but none drew such a turn out as the chance to win a new Harley-Davidson motorcycle from our store. Bill Hennigan, a costumer of Laidlaw’s since 2002, received the prize of a life time. When he received the phone call he initially assumed it was a joke, following his instinct he called Laidlaw’s immediately. I answered the phone, he told me about his disbelief and I reassured him that he was the rightful winner. The shock and obvious joy in his voice was undeniable. As an employee there is no better feeling than knowing one of your most loyal customers is rewarded in a way that all customers should be.
