Over 300 MILLION turkeys are killed in the United States every year…45 MILLION are eaten on Thanksgiving Day. The chicklets are so unhappy, that’s why they go directly from Halloween to Christmas. They can’t stand the pain and suffering of all the beautiful birds. I can’t stand it either. Our hearts are broken.
First on the Catwalk is the gorgeous pirate, HOLLY. Carrying her magical pumpkin, and a special bag for treats, she sails the Seven Seas wearing a body clinging, black and white Art Gown. This Yin and Yang gown is decorated with a Skull and Cross Bones, clearly advertising her occupation. The material of her gown, can withstand open water, storms, and the hijacking of treats. Her reputation proceeds her, and people willingly hand over their treasures, rather than make Holly frown.
Next up is amazing Dale, the Pumpkin Queen. Beautiful, in her orange, one shouldered, Art Gown, opera length gloves, and matching hat, Dale stands out from the crowd. She trick or treats at only the finest of places, looking for expensive treats, to keep her warm during the up coming cold winter nights. Her gown is light weight, yet durable. Perfect for traipsing through pumpkin patches, day or night. Dale is the epitome of Halloween. If she knocks on your door, be sure to have something suitable to drop into her bag.
Last, is Gigi, the dark side of Halloween. Black wings stretch out behind her, the bats, on her incredible ebony gown, come alive as she moves. Her faux leather, gloves, the color of red earth and mountains, mean that when she goes in for treats…she doesn’t have to get her hands dirty. The flowing hem of her gown allows her to run, just as her wings, allow her to fly. She never gets lost, and she can hear you, even when you whisper. My advice…never try to trick her, just give her whatever she wants.
This incredible Halloween Fashion Show has been brought to you by, THE FABULOUS RESA. Our thanks go out to the designer, and to the models, for this wonderful TREAT. THANK YOU, and many peeps, wing flaps and chirps.
Resa’s outfit, below, was made for her by the chicklets on the Sewing Committee. They love her and wanted to surprise her with something special.
Resa, wearing a black velvet hooded cape, over an orange and black gown, takes a bow, and as many treats as she wants.
Holly brought her delicious corn bread and popcorn balls, Beth brought cookies, Resa brought pies and Dale brought yummy drinks and surprise treats. The chicklets are so happy, and even though the show has begun…there are a couple young chicklets who seem to think it’s better to stay around the food.

Halloween can be scary
if you’re all alone
but if you’re at The Coop
Halloween means treats
Gondola Rides
games
entertainment
Story Time
Guests
fashion shows
costumes
other stuff
and lots of love
I want to go to Paris
and I know that doesn’t
have anything to do with Halloween
but I just wanted you to know
because the older chicklets talk about it
ALL THE TIME
and I wasn’t born when they went there
so I didn’t get a turn
Pearl
everyday is so much fun
and when special times come along
like Halloween
there’s even more fun
and that’s a LOT of fun
the Committees are so busy
making everything perfect for everyone
and that’s fun too
because life is supposed to be
FUN
and it is
if you live at The Coop

Poetry is
a special way
of communicating
you can write a long story
in a few lines
Halloween stories are fun to write
like a tiny brown mouse
made a home in a pumpkin
knowing that the pumpkin
wouldn’t last
but the mouse was rather zen
and when his house started wilting
he simply moved somewhere else
Happy Halloween
Kevin
I like Halloween at The Coop
I live here
and on holidays
I give the baby chicklets rides

Halloween means costumes
and masks
and contests
and treats
so we all have a great time
