From the Desk of Barb Clapp...   

I have always loved the creativity and energy that surrounds Halloween. Throughout my life I have hand sewn my own and my children's Halloween costumes. I even made costumes for my daughter's horses when they competed in the annual Halloween horse show at her barn! This imaginative mindset has carried over into my work at Clapp Communications. Every employee we have thinks creatively and outside the box. We apply our ingenuity each and every day to all of the work that we do. 

Happy Halloween!

Barb
