And the Winner is....

It was rigged I tell you, rigged.  Some of the most boring skeletons won, one of which I never saw because it was not visible from the street.  But I will tell you what all these skeletons had in common - a voting box in the store that sponsored them.  So the store could encourage tourist to vote for their skeleton.  Most places with a skeleton did not have a voting box, requiring the voter to remember the skeletons number, walk to a place with a box and cast a ballot.  So here are the result of the skeleton election:

1st Place Manitou Outpost and Gallery


I mean he's ok but compared to quality of some of the others?  First place? Are you kidding me?

 2nd Place Goldminers Nuts & Candy

 

 I did not even see this skeleton.  While he's cute, he was not visible from the street through the window, which should have hurt his chances.  But low and behold, they had a voting box.

 3rd Place Mountain High Gallery and Gifts

I mean this is just a cluster-f*^%.  It is so bad they had to put a sign next to it to explain what it was.

 

So I will present Lady M's picks for best skeletons with honorable mentions.

First place - LeGrande Boutique's floating angel

Second Place - Brazen Bee's beautiful dreamer

Third Place - La Henna Boheme henna painted skeleton

Honorable Mentions:
There were so many great skeletons who should have easily beaten the top three and I would not have been bitter if any of these skeletons had won.

So I will take this up with the Chamber of Commerce for next year as I do not believe the voting was fair and needs to be revised.

Made the Local Paper

My small local paper asked for some Halloween Photos from its readership which I happily submitted.  And much to my astonishment,  I made the paper. Oh happy day!
