Geek Costume Contest Winners Announced!

Geek the Library was in fun, geektastic form at the Library during the last 2 weeks.  Our Library staff and members of the public were invited to don Halloween costumes illustrating what they geek from October 24th  - 31st  and then everyone was invited to vote for their favorite costumes between Nov. 1st  - 6th.   A total of 43 photos were taken of Library staff and visitors, 16 of staff and 27 of visitors to the Library from the public.  More than 400 individual votes were cast last week for people's top 3 staff and top 3 public "I geek..." Halloween costumes and we have some winners who wore some really fantastic, geektastic costumes!

In the public category, there was a tie for first place between Samuel Dwigans, dressed as a Lego Man [he geeks Legos] and Derek Gardner, dressed as Mike Wiskowski from Monsters, Inc. [he geeks Monsters, Inc.]. 

 Our 3rd place winner is our set of 6 Smurfs, who, of course, geek the Smurfs:  Jillian Bond as Vanity Smurf, Lauren Bruns as Brainy Smurf, Ellie Jensen as Artist Smurf, Madeline Sautbine as Jokey Smurf, Sam Sautbine as Papa Smurf, and Megan Sheridan as Smurfette. 

Congratulations to all of our  top vote-getters from the public.  Each winner won a Zionsville Chamber of Commerce gift certificate to spend at a local business. 

Among our staff, Julie Myers, who geeks Princesses, won first place, Laura Gangstad, who geeks  beekeeping, won second place and Sarah Childs, who geeks Mary Poppins, won third place.  Congratulations to our staff winners!

All of these staff members also won gift certificates from the Zionsville Chamber of Commerce.
 

 Many thanks to the Library Foundation for providing grant funding to sponsor the costume contest and purchase the gift certificates for winners.


Watch for more fun, geektastic events at your Hussey-Mayfield Library the rest of this year and in 2012.  What do you geek?  Find it at Your Public Library!
