The Great Candy Buyback: A Big Success

Dozens of trick-or-treaters lined up Friday dressed like themselves carrying their loot from last night to trade it for cash at Wentz Orthodontics.

Again, the Great Candy Buy Back was a big success. All of the candy that the kids turned in will be donated to the South Plains Food Bank to add a sweet treat to Thanksgiving baskets.

If you were wondering how much candy the trick-or-treaters traded this year, about 163 pounds of candy will be going to the South Plains Food Bank.
