HALLOWEEN COSTUME CONTEST WINNERS
NOTEWORTHY
Best laugh
The most photographed
costumes might have
been the sumo wrestlers worn by the HR
department. The battery
-powered fans inside
the one-size-fits-all outfits kept the air circulating inside and the cos- Julie Talbert,
tumes inflated. Two of
a sumo with
bad teeth
the crew went as geisha girls.
“We wanted to do something different,
something to have fun with and to make
people laugh,” said Doug Harrison, director of HR and a coordinator for the Halloween activities. “We had a lot of fun.”
Harrison added that everyone complimented the tasty food served up at lunch.
“Hats off to the food services folks and to
everyone who volunteered to serve,” he
added.
Best of all, employees contributed $967
to the Employee Emergency Fund by
buying stickers for the privilege of wearing
a costume or blue jeans.
