Welcome
to our 2007 Halloween Costume Contest. After nearly 3 weeks of voting we
still couldn't break all of our ties. 2nd Place was a tie and the 2nd
place contestants will split the prizes for 2nd and 3rd combined. Because
everything was so close and we had to have an extra tiebreaker week of voting -
all of our finalists will win a prize - that's just how cool we are! We
gave away almost $600 worth of prizes this year and we'll be ready to do it
again next year so start planning your costume! We
have all the winners posted below as well as all of the other contestants. Click on
