The Seadrift Chamber Halloween Costume Contest was a spooktactular success.  The winners were hard to choose from the many entries but the judges did a great job in choosing the winners.

Thanks to our judges; Mike Pfeifer, County Judge, Kenny Finster, County Commissioner and Janet Rosenboom, Seadrift City Judge for their expertise in ghosts, ghouls, goblins and things that go bump in the night.

We also wish to thank Nancy Alford, Charlene Terrell and Joann Mueller for their help in signing up and providing candy to all of our contestants.

Many Seadrifters turned out for the parade led by the Seadrift Fire Department trucks from First National Bank to City Hall.  Several trucks and ATVs were towing trailers filled with costumed trick or treaters.
