Halloween Costume Contest 2016

Costume contest is back! Come and show off your creativity for a chance to win some sweet prizes!

Did you know?
Most experts believe that the tradition of wearing costumes on Halloween originated in ancient days with the Celtic festival of Samhain, where participants lit fires and wore costumes to scare away ghosts. Approximately 2,000 years ago, the Celts lived in an area now occupied by Ireland, northern France and the United Kingdom. The Celtic new year was Nov. 1, which marked the end of the harvest season and the beginning of the dark days of winter, signifying death. To them, the night before the new year was a time when the veil between the living and the dead was the thinnest, allowing spirits to cross over. The Celts celebrated Samhain on Oct. 31 to pay homage to these spirits, which they both feared and respected.
