Halloween Costume Contest & Food Drive!

It's live! Here's the poster for our 2009 Halloween Costume Contest which will be held at the ever-popular Java Train cafe this year. Friday, October 30th, 3:30-6:30pm (see time slots options below).

This year I'm excited to say the event will also be a food drive, so bring a non-perishable food item (or several!) with you and let's help Second Harvest Heartland support our community!

Please note, you MUST PRE-REGISTER your child(ren) for a time slot so we can keep the event running smoothly and have the right number of treat bags on hand. 651.489.8281 or featherbluestudios@juno.com

-You may choose from 3:30(full), 4pm(full), 4:30(full), 5pm(full), 5:30, 6pm, or 6:30pm and arrive anytime in your half hour range. (Fri Oct 30th)

-When you call or email please include your first choice time slot as well as your next two preferred slots, especially as we get closer to the event and times begin to fill up.

-We need: a parents name, the child(ren)'s names, an email address for final confirmation, and ages. Kids 0-10 are welcome!

The fun (including crafts, mini photo sessions, and the treat bag) are all FREE with your non-perishable food drive donation. An online gallery will go up after the event for anyone interested in purchasing prints of the costumed cuties and a blog posting will go up with open-voting to finalize our winner!

Hope to see you there!!! Happy Fall!

~Our event is TODAY!!! :) Schedule update as of Fri Oct 30th: morning: the time slots of 3:30, 4pm, 4:30pm & 5pm are now FULL. Please select from either 5:30, 6, or 6:30pm if you want to still register. I will still be taking registrations via phone or email, through 1pm today (Fri). If you leave a message, please leave the number of kids and an email address and the time slot, and consider yourself registered - we will try to send a confirm via email before 2pm.

~If you're checking this out last minute, and want to stop by and get in on the fun, please arrive somewhere between 5:30 & 6:45pm and hopefully we can squeeze you in! - (We cannot guarantee a treat bag if you are not pre-registered, but are trying to have extras, so hopefully that will not be a problem!).

~Food Drive Challenge! A $25 Gift Certificate from Feather Blue Studios will go to whoever brings the most food drive items! Stock up & bring 'em along... every bit helps, so bring one, bring several, or bring a bag full!
