So, our 2018 Facebook Halloween costume contest winners have been decided – did you vote yet? You contestants knocked it out of the park this time. We had some GREAT costumes this year. And Facebook peeps, we appreciate all the positive compliments and likes you gave the contestants – thank you.
Can we get a drum roll please….
#27, #21, #20 and also #30 – you all won!
I added #30 since her supporters did such a great job keeping up. In the end, she was only 1 like away from winning – so she gets a prize too.
In case you have no flippin’ idea as to what I’m talking about, here’s the cliff notes:
- At each pet nail trim event in Oct. people could bring their pets/kids/groups in to enter the contest
- Pictures were posted on Facebook Oct. 28 and ran until Halloween
- To vote, you just needed to LIKE the pictures
- The top 3 (4) won
Watch this cute YouTube video which shows all 32 of the contestants.
That’s it in a nutshell. A very simple costume contest but it was fun and gave us all a reason to dress up and help the kiddos (and pets).
As a matter of fact, I wore a different costume to EVERY event this year. It was a little challenging trying to figure out what to wear that wouldn’t impede my ability to work with the pets in trimming nails. AND trying to keep the costumes ‘friendly’ and not too scary so I wouldn’t scare all of the furry friends was also difficult. In the end, I figured it out and still have several on the backburner for upcoming events.
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I love being able to share it with people and pets.
Why Have a Costume Contest?
Why NOT have a costume contest!
Seriously, people have asked me why I had it and the main reason is for the fun factor. It’s fun to dress up. It’s really fun to dress your pets up or go as a duo like #27. Well, not all pets like dressing up and some of the pets in the contest didn’t come in any festive attire. I edited the pictures with what app (PhotoGrid) I had on my phone to get them in the Halloween spirit 🙂
Since I started this business 10 years ago, hosting pet-friendly events has been a focus. I’ve wanted to have things for people to do WITH their pets because Muncie, Anderson and New Castle really doesn’t offer much other than obedience classes, barn hunts and running/hiking events. And cats surely would despise being taken to an obedience class, lol. So these small get togethers I host are perfect purrfect for them.
Did you know that we host a dog-friendly Easter egg hunt every year?
We call it the Dog-Diggity Easter Egg Hunt and we always have a lot of fun. Stay tuned on our Facebook page for updates about our 2026 event!
