Halloween was very different this year. People had to get creative for trick-or-treaters, making candy tables, candy clotheslines, and PVC pipe chutes. One thing that didn’t change, however, was dressing up. Many people this year still bought or made Halloween costumes even if they couldn’t go trick-or-treating. Every year, Emerson and DaVinci have a Halloween costume contest. This year, the virtual contest was held on the Thursday before Halloween, October 29. There were five categories: Funniest, Most Creative, Scariest, Best Handmade, and Best Overall.
