Halloween Contests

As the money that had been allocated for the Halloween Contests for Kapawe’no did not get utilized due to shortage of entries, we decided to do random draws for all of the participants that did not receive the main prizes.

​

• 4 Random Prizes of $25.00 for the Costume Contest (All ages).

• 4 Prizes of $50.00 for the Door Contest

All participant names were put into a draw for the two categories. Draw was made at the Band Office.
