The sixth annual Halloween Candy Buy Back is redefining the meaning “sweet deal” for one area dentist. This Halloween, trick-or-treaters can bring their excess candy to Dr. Vicki L. Tibbs and receive $1 per pound of candy donated up to $5.

Candy donations, notes of gratitude from kids to the troops, and toothbrushes are then being sent to armed forces overseas via Operation Gratitude.

“Kids can still have all the fun of trick-or-treating and feel great about supporting our troops overseas,” said Dr. Tibbs, adding that this year the emphasis is on toothbrushes.

Candy is being collected at Dr. Tibbs’ office in Brianwood Business Park, 2700 Pocahontas Trail, Quinton, on Saturday, Nov. 1, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Candy must be unopened.
