Hey, Halloween Lovers!

There’s an autumnal chill in the air with little spirits running around laughing as they haunt the streets for tricks or treats. And everyone’s porches are decorated with bright orange pumpkins and ghoulish gourds, carved with faces. Filling today with absurd activities, dreadful decorations, and creepy costumes, no other holiday embraces the morbid and macabre like celebration of Halloween…or does there?

Over the years, I’ve written a number of posts to discuss the many means of celebration for one of the world’s most popular holidays: Halloween. Always coinciding in the harvest season, another holiday is celebrated in Mexico called Día de los Muertos or, the Day of the Dead—landing very close to Halloween on the calendar. The Day of the Dead begins at midnight tonight.

Often considered something of a Mexican Halloween by those who don’t observe it, the Day of the Dead may appear as a similar celebration on the surface, but Día de los Muertos is much more meaningful to the people of Mexico than Halloween is to the folks who observe it. You may love Halloween—I do too!—but Día de los Muertos is about loved ones gathering to remember friends and family who have passed on. Traditions of this holiday are to construct private altars and decorations to honor the dead.

Día de los Muertos wasn’t always so widespread in Mexico as it is nowadays. As of a few years ago, it’s gained popularity and celebrations have expanded to include live music, dancing, and parades from residential neighborhoods to cemeteries where family members can visit the gravesites of their loved ones.

With its increasing popularity, we wanted to join in the celebration of life that once was with our Seasonal Day of the Dead Storage Trunk. Featuring the festive artwork of Mexican culture, this trunk is a surprisingly colorful explosion amidst the dark abyss of death that easily inserts itself into part of your family’s altar. Keep your altar decorations inside this beautifully constructed storage trunk and make the most of your Día de los Muertos celebration! And, as always, thanks for reading!

Hey, Everything Summer Camp Fans!

We’ve got big things happening over here in Boyd, Wisconsin—the small town where Everything Summer Camp is based. When we first got our start nearly 30 years ago, things were pretty different. We didn’t even go by Everything Summer Camp. We were C&N Footlockers, named after the owners, Craig and Nancy who started this company right out of their home-garage.

With unmatched construction and excellent customer service, C&N built itself for certain success from the start. Naturally, when business increased, we also increased the colors and sizes of our camp trunks. We also ended up relocating for an increase in manufacturing and storage space.

It was around this time that we changed our name. And when business kept increasing, we relocated yet again to an even bigger building—the same building that we’re still in today! The initial 12,000 square feet building is now undergoing its second expansion to bring it to 31,000     square feet.

The biggest change that our expansion has made possible is bringing our whole team together under one roof. Our printshop is the home of our Graphics Department where we make all of our personalized products like Nameplates, Name Labels, Lid Skinz, Pillowcases, along with all of our camp clothing.

With our Graphics Department moving to our main building as well as doubling in size, packaging orders and getting them out the door will be able to happen even faster. You can expect this change to bring about more fun, new, and personalized products in 2017!

While this expansion will make so much possible, the expansion itself would not have been possible without all of you. You have truly fueled this awesome change for us! Thank you to all our summer camp families for helping us to grow! And, as always, thanks for reading!
