What a beautiful morning we had for this year’s annual Kids’ Costume Contest at Halloween at the Market in partnership with 
Downtown Springfield Inc.! In the nine years we have been part of this fantastics event, it was the warmest weather yet! The best part was the variety of cool costumes and the pride the kids have in dressing up in whatever fits their style! From Edward Scissorhands, to Godzilla, a sweet infant peapod or the always classic Dorothy and Toto; your costumes were fantastic! Thank you to our judges Marilyn Schaefer from Illinois National Bank, Steve Parker from Mid-West Family Broadcasting and Rachel Thomson from the Kidzeum of Health and Science. The judges had a VERY hard job choosing the top winners in three age groups. We also launched a new FAMILY costume category this year, and SpMoms added some special SpMoms pick winners– there were just too many awesome ones to choose just one!
All winners received an assortment of prizes including Toys R Us gift cards, Illinois State Museum Gift shop certificates compliments of Illinois National Bank, and/or Jr. Blues Hockey Tickets compliments of Springfield Moms.
