Hootenanny 2024

Thursday, October 31, 2024

Staff Luncheon: 12–2pm

  • Bring your own brown bag lunch to enjoy while watching the costume contest OR bring a dish to share at the potluck.
  • Sweet treats, healthy snacks, and tasty entrees and appetizers are all welcome at the potluck!
  • Groups are invited to decorate their team’s table with their costume theme. Table decorating will be open from 11-12.

Staff Costume Contest during Luncheon

There will be two categories judged this year (Solo Contest has been eliminated this year due to lack of participation):

  1. Group Performance Category (a song, skit, etc with a max. time of 5 minutes)
  2. Group Costume-Only Category (no music or acting allowed; group stands at the front and announces their costume)

Contest winners will receive an amazing trophy, bragging rights, and an entry on our new ESD Connects Hall of Fame!

Trick or Treating: 3–4:30pm

ESD staff with children in their lives are invited to bring them to trick or treat in the main offices at stations decorated by staff. Balloons and floor dots will guide families to the stations again this year. We will also provide non-food treats for kids with allergies or other restrictions.

NOTE: If you plan to decorate your cubicle or trick or treat station, please follow these guidelines from the Safety Committee and get your manager’s approval on time spent decorating.

Please RSVP your participation by October 24, 2024!

Groups: Costume contest entries and trick or treat station groups should designate someone to fill out the Group Participation form.
