COSTUME CONTEST: BUG OUT WITH US!

Our judges will be on the lookout for:
Most Creative
Most Original
Funniest
Spookiest
Best Couple
The rules are simple, but do not let their simplicity fool you. Failure to follow them will affect your overall score.
RULES
Your costume presentation can be no longer than 5 minutes. We will be timing you, so watch your pacing!
Props, bystanders (with their permission), fancy scripts, and buggy antics are all fair game, but do not forget Rule #1.
HAVE FUN!
Do not forget to light your votive (just kidding)
So shake out your wings, sharpen those pincers, and get ready to shine. This contest is going to be un-bee-lievable!
Don’t forget to pre-register for this event throughout the day on Wednesday, October 22nd. Announcements will be made throughout the day.
