Washington Town Center Holding Costume Contest

Businesses in the Washington Town Center are holding a Halloween costume contest Wednesday.

The winners will receive a goody bag with a $25 Visa gift card and loot from all 12 participating businesses. The competition is open to residents from any area town.

There will be three different contests for different age groups:

• Children age 4 and younger will compete from 4 to 5 p.m.
• 5- to 11-year-olds will compete from 5 to 6 p.m.
• 12 and older will compete from 6 to 7 p.m.

To participate, stop by Gyros and Goodies to register and get a vote bag. Then, stop by each of the stores to get a grade ticket. Finally, head back to Gyros and Goodies to get your tickets added up.

Since you're already getting dressed up, you can also take a photo and enter Patch's Best Halloween Costume in America Contest.
