Fall Festival and Office Costume Contest By: Orange County Communications Department
October was a frightfully good time for our Parks & Recreation Department! Beginning with a NEW “Spooktacular Lights Tour” (offered in a similar spirit to the upcoming Tacky Lights Tour), the department organized several fangtastic events for the community. Following the digital tour of decorated homes (hosted in partnership with Orange County GIS), the next event was the ever-popular Booooster Park Fall Festival. Each year, the festival features community tables with useful resources, fun concessions, a feature film shown on a giant inflatable screen! This year, staff also added a new photo booth, and offered a chance to enter a photo contest by sharing pictures taken at the event. However, we know the main attraction is

the show. This year’s film was the fantastic and musical Disney production, Coco . It was well-received by attendees, and staff look forward to next year’s event!
The final spooky season event was also the longest running. The Office Costume Contest began in 2014, and has become a tradition receiving strong participation each year. For those unfamiliar, the contest invites coworkers to band together and create a group costume. Entries are then judged through a combination of official scores, Facebook vote, and a participation element. This year, 11 groups entered the contest, showcasing a great range of creativity and craftsmanship. Check out the opposite page for all of the entries and to see the results of the contest! Look like fun? It’s never too early to start planning next year’s entry with your coworkers!
The photo booth was a popular new addition to this year’s Booooster Park Fall Festival!
