I tried to enter several all weekend. Won $25 at one,a gift bag full of gift certificates to local business at another and then ended up winning 1st prize in a third -a $250 gift certificate to a local video game store.Not to boast too much,but I thought I would have won better placement in some of them.I think some folks thought it was a rented costume based on the surprised reaction to being told it was DIY.
Honestly though, I had more fun being stopped every two steps to have my picture taken. At one point ,a friend had to start forming a line of the people who wanted a picture taken with me.
Next year , I need to find where a big group of kids do the Trick or Treat ,and just chase them around yelling " Candy Candy CANDY!"
