Halloween

One of America's favorite Holidays, so much so that many spend MONTHS prepping their costumes for an exciting night out on the town!

More than a costume

We told you a few weeks ago that we think your genius costumes deserve a little more recognition than just one night! This is why we hold our annual Halloween Costume Contest! 

The submissions

This year we were so thrilled at the overwhelming response we got to our Costume Contest! With over 50 submissions, choosing only three winners was not easy! 

Watch our Facebook Live video where we announced the winners here!
