Hootenanny

Join us for our popular Halloween celebration!

Staff Luncheon: 12–2pm

• Bring a dish to share at the potluck OR bring your own brown bag lunch.
• Sweet treats, healthy snacks, and tasty entrees and appetizers are all welcome at the potluck! You can sign up to bring something here.
• 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 awards again this year, but this time we will be splitting up the competition by group size (rather than performance/non-performance). Costume contest guidelines:

• Any group can include music, a skit, audience participation, dancing or other fun for up to 5 minutes (including the transition time of walking up, and walking out)
• All groups will need to include a brief description of their entry/theme, which will be included on the judges form and announced during the costume contest to provide context for our judges

Contest winners will receive an amazing trophy, bragging rights, and an entry on our 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 other directions will guide families to the stations again this year. We encourage you to provide some non-food items for kids with allergies or other restrictions – Connects can provide them if needed.

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 23!

Individuals: Fill out this form to let us know how you will be participating in the day (whether attending the luncheon or bringing trick or treaters). If you are unable to participate in any way, no need to RSVP.

Groups: Costume contest entries and trick or treat station groups should designate someone to fill out the Group Participation form. If you are the point person for your group costume or trick or treat station, please fill out this form by October 28. This allows us to reserve table space for your group and coordinate trick or treat locations. Please note that trick or treat stations must provide their own candy and are encouraged to provide some non-food options.
