The Churdan public library staff is hosting a virtual Halloween costume contest for all ages.
Patrons can a picture in their Halloween costume and bring it to the Churdan Library, text it to Marilyn Tilley, or send it as a personal message on the Churdan Library’s Facebook page. Be sure to include your name and phone number. All pictures must be received by October 31.
Categories include funniest, cutest, scariest, ugliest, most original, and “other.” A committee of judges will determine the winners the first week of November. Winners will be called to pick up their prize and pictures of the winners will be posted on Facebook.
Persons who want to bribe the judges can bargain with Joleen Killeen, Rita O’Bryan, and Marsha Subbert.
