Kids Halloween Costume Contest 2010 (at Java Train Cafe!)

*Just finding this last minute? :) Join us! We should have room for drop-ins, especially from noon-1pm. Come with your costumed baby or kid(s), have their photo taken for our Costume Contest, enjoy some fun fall crafts, and finish it off with a treat bag! And don't forget that Java Train Cafe is the perfect place to enjoy lunch & some play time. Hope to see you there! Read the rest of the posting for more details. Don't forget to bring your food drive items!*

Back by popular demand! Our fun-filled Halloween Costume Contest & Food Drive event: with mini-shoots for your costumed kids, a craft area, and fabulous treat bags for kiddos to finish things off. Saturday, Oct 30th from 11am-1pm, held at Java Train Cafe (Midway area, St Paul).

Plus, three costumed cuties will be selected as finalists by Feather Blue Studios & Java Train staff to be the Costume Contest Finalists, with open voting to follow to name our 2010 Costume Contest Winner! Kids ages 0-10 are eligible.

Shoots will be just 3-5 minutes each, and prints will be available to purchase post-event online.

To participate, you MUST PRE-REGISTER for a time slot. This helps us keep the event running smoothly plus lets us know how many treat bags to make up! You may come anywhere withing your time slot range, and can stay as long as you like once your photo is done! Space is limited, so don't delay!

To register, email or call the studio: 651.489.8281 or featherbluestudios@juno.com. We need to know the number of kids in your group, their names & ages, and an adults name + email address for confirmation.

Update two days before: Still plenty of space, especially in the afternoon. Email/call us with your details and the slot you want... For now we are calling 11am & 11:20am full, though if that is the ONLY time you can come, let us know & we will fit you in. But the afternoon has LOTS of availability, so for a more relaxed experience, choose the 12 to 1 range; come on over to Java Train for lunch either before or after your event fun!

Note: Java Train has an extensive (& yummy) LUNCH MENU! So no worries about coming over the lunch hour... come for the fun, and stay for lunch!
