It is that time of the year and the Paulding Lions Club is organizing for the Annual Paulding Lions Club Halloween Parade and Costume Contest!!! It is planned for Saturday, October 28, 2017. We ask that the participants begin to assemble in front of the Paulding County Carneige Library at 2:30 p.m. where they will register for the costume contest and be assigned a number. The parade will start around 3:00 p.m. Contestants will march around the square and end up at the gazebo on the courthouse lawn where the costume judging will take place.
People of all ages are invited to be part of the Paulding Lions Club Halloween Parade and Costume Contest. All you need to do is get in to costume and show up. The ten (10) costume categories are: 1) Infants (under 12 months), 2) Ages 1 to 2, 3) Clowns and Tramps, 4) Witches, 5) Things, Objects, and Plants, 6) Animals and Creatures, 7) Movie, TV, Fairy Tale Characters, 8) ‘17ampire-s, Ghosts, GObliiiS, 9) Ages 13 and Over; and 10) Misc.
All Halloween Contest Participants will receive a reward for their involvement while the supplies last.
