Cartoon kids in costumes

Happy Halloween! 🎃

At Duluth Mom, we’re feeling festive and want to spread our spooky joy on to you, our readers. So we’ve brewed up a plan to host our 4th annual costume contest! We think it’s a great way to stay safe, because it’s a virtual event, but still give families the opportunity dress up your kiddos for sweet prizes.

The contest categories and rules are pretty straight-forward, you can read them below, and we can’t wait to see how creative you all get! To be perfectly honest, we’re really looking forward to cooing at all the cute littles in their costumes. We could all use a bit more light-hearted joy these days, dochya think?

Five Categories

  1. Best DIY/thrifted/homemade costume
  2. Best group theme costume {including 2 or more individuals}
  3. Cutest costume under 2 years old
  4. Best costume of any aged child
  5. Best family pet costume

Andrea Jang
A lake girl at heart, Andrea is thrilled to be a Duluthian! She lives in the Hillside with her husband, daughter (plus two angel babies that are with them in spirit), and two rescue pups. As a bi-racial and multicultural family, they have hopes and dreams of visiting her husband’s family in South Korea someday soon. Tiny joys that make her heart happy include: doodling, searching for sea glass, coffee with friends, fiber art, plants, a good vintage thrift find, music and great food & drinks. She also finds purpose in serving on the Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Justice (DEIJ) committee at her daughter’s school, and also on City Mom Collective’s Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility (IDEA) committee. You will find her building community, connections and friendships in the northland as the owner of Duluth Mom. She invites you to visit her on Instagram or on LinkedIn.
