Halloween Spokane Style

November 1, 2008 4 Comments

Every city has its costume contests, but just imagine the results of an Inland Empire themed competition! Sure there are the obvious options; marmots, Kevin Coe, Lilac Princesses and the rest. But what about uniquely local interpretations of otherwise generic Halloween themes? Forget Sarah Palin, dress up as Mayor Mary Verner instead. Jazz up your otherwise cliche 80′s rock star garb and pay homage to local icon  Tambourine Man. The options are endless.

“ARCHITECTURE SO UGLY IT’S SCARY!”

Then there are the costumes that are challenging from a design standpoint. How would you dress up as a ponderosa pine the Spokane River, or Division? If someone could successfully represent the Pavilion, that would surely take the cake. Some kind of crown with a web of elastic strings fixed to a hula hoop that dangles around one’s waist? Good luck.

Such an opportunity to creatively interperet the local landscape should not be missed. Maybe Dempsey’s can be convinced to take this angle next year…

    I’m surprised you didn’t suggest the carousel, that would be great. Imagine if one could make it go around.

    I agree, it’s one thing that it has to be an eyesore, but it had to be the BIGGEST eyesore in town.
