Jack-o-Lantern and Costume Contests
Come with your best carved pumpkin and enter it in to win the Jack-o-Lantern Contest. Entries must be present and displayed by 9:15 at the latest. Judging will be done by our adult volunteers, and the first and second place winners gets to take home a trophy and a free mocktail. Anyone who brings an entry may smash their pumpkin after the winner is picked, free of charge (at the pumpkin smashing station).
The Costume contest will be held at 9:30 with entries for “Scariest Costume” “Funniest Costume” and “Best Duo/Group Costume”. Each Winner gets a trophy and five raffle tickets. Judging will be done by votes from the activity volunteers.
Already Shivering with Anticipation?
“Scarecrowing”
Help us raise the spirits and raise some money this Halloween by “Scarecrowing” a friend or neighbors house.
For a small donation, your victim will wake up to their yard now occupied by one of our Howl Scarecrow Servants. The entity will remain for one week unless they, too, make a donation to have it moved.
In preparation for the Halloween Howl, some yards are being occupied by nefarious scarecrows. Pay to have one placed in the yard of a friend or family member. (If you have been presently “Scarecrowed” and wish it to be moved elsewhere, please select “Help, I have been Scarecrowed” in the drop-down.
