Applicants, Sponsors Wanted for Halloween Window Painting Contest

Information provided by the Sierra Madre Civic Club

If you are a student between the ages of 9-17 and you are interested in helping the City of Sierra Madre decorate for Halloween, then it’s time to begin thinking about filling out your application for this year’s Halloween Downtown Window Painting Contest.  If you are a local merchant, you will be looking forward to having your windows painted by our local youth artists! 

Applications were distributed this past week to all local schools.  They can also be picked up from the Community Services office at the Rec Center and at the Front Desk at City Hall.

Applications are due back to these City locations by 5pm on Monday, October 14th.  Teams of up to 4 students of the same age group can work on a window design.  At least one participant must be a Sierra Madre resident. 

Window painting will occur on Friday, October 25th from 2:30pm to 6pm and on Saturday, October 26th from 8am to 11am.  Judging will follow and prizes awarded by age groups at 12:15 that day.  Additional information and guidelines are available with the applications. 

Our local merchants are critical to the success of this event!  Please show your support in one of the following ways:  a monetary donation to cover the cost of paint and decorations, use of your window(s) for the painting contest or a donation of other items that will enhance the experience of the participants.

This year’s contest is sponsored and underwritten by the Sierra Madre Civic Club and is free to participants. Please direct specific questions to Marcia Bent, Event Chair, Sierra Madre Civic Club, 626-355-5372.  The community looks forward to this annual tradition when Sierra Madre’s talented youth decorate our downtown windows!
