After trick-or-treating at businesses throughout the Canyon Lake Towne Center on October 24, everyone gathered together in front of POA/City Hall for the Costume Contest. There were three categories in four age divisions. The judges were Pam Irwin of Pac West Financial, Delores Badilla of CR&R and Miss Canyon Lake Kymberli Conn.
As usual, judging the 0 to 5 year-old age division was especially challenging due to the large number of children and their imaginative costumes.
Winners of the Parade of Frights Costume Contest were:
