Spooky Costume Contest
Do you hear the rustling of fabric and the whispers of creative ideas everywhere? That’s right, it’s the Spooky Costume Contest taking center stage this Halloween! I can’t help but get excited when I think about all the imaginative, funny, and downright spooky costumes we’ll see this year. Most of the city’s night-time favorites hold costume contests.
Pueblo Halloweens are known for their extraordinary costume contests. Our little ones let their imaginative spirits run wild, dreaming up some incredible characters. This year’s contest will be held in the heart of downtown Pueblo. There’ll be numerous categories to compete in—most original, most spooky, and the always-popular parent-child duo, to name a few.
For those parents who’re already feeling a bit anxious about the contest, don’t be! It’s not just about winning or losing but about the fun of crafting an imaginative outfit and making lasting memories. Remember: the most important thing is that your little ghouls and goblins have fun.
Let’s take a look at some highlights from last year’s Spooky Costume Contest:
- Seven-year-old Lucy stole the show with her homemade astronaut costume, complete with blinking lights. Her costume landed her the Most Original title!
- The Spookiest Costume award was nabbed by Timmy, who managed to give us all goosebumps with his detailed skeleton outfit.
- The Parent-child Duo category was won by the Johnsons. They showed up as perfectly coordinated ghosts, setting the bar high for this year’s participants.
