The 3^rd Annual Concussion Halloween Contest was a success! Never lacking in creativity, the Concussionites pulled out all the stops to win this year’s coveted costume contest. First Place, and $100 went to Nick Bendian and Charlie Howlett, who portrayed life-like Toy Soldiers, complete with poses. The winner of 2^nd Place and $75 was Celine Hubler, who hand-sewed her orange grenade costume, the Concussion mascot! Rodeo rider Courtney Crummel took 3^rd Place and $50, with the help of her “buckin’ bronco” Kit Kat.

Honorable mentions went to May Rashid for her Aunt Sam get-up, and Anna Routh as Nancy Kerrigan, who committed to the role with rollerblades and mascara stains down her face. Other costume favorites were Max from Where the Wild Things Are, a Boom Box, a Traffic Cop, Nurse, “As Seen on TV” complete with a Snuggie, and a Wal-Mart shopper. We can’t wait to see what next year will bring!
