The Halloween game remains strong in the southwest suburbs<br />
Publisher 22nd Century Media<br />
announces contest winners<br />
Bill Jones, Managing Editor<br />
Once again, Publisher 22nd Century<br />
Media’s Southwest Chicago readers impressed<br />
our editors with their Halloween<br />
game.<br />
From creative costumes to intricate pumpkin<br />
designs, entrants did a good job of making<br />
our job of picking winners difficult in our<br />
annual costume and carving contests. But<br />
winners we picked nonetheless. And we’re<br />
happy to present them in the accompanying<br />
photo spread.<br />
We picked our winners based on creativity,<br />
successful execution of an idea, quality<br />
of craftsmanship and consideration of the<br />
holiday/season.<br />
The staff would like to thank everyone<br />
who took the time to share their Halloween<br />
fun with us, to all of those who continue<br />
to read our newspapers weekly, and to the<br />
generous local businesses that provided our<br />
prizes.<br />
