Halloween Window Painting Contest Begins October 1st

THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE, says Chelley Wambaugh, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Franz Wambaugh at 638 Swarthmore Avenue. She demonstrates window-painting technique for attorney William Fisher, in this view from inside the old Hobby Shop on Via de la Paz. Aiming at next week’s Halloween window-painting contest sponsored by the Pacific Palisades Chamber of Commerce, Fisher holds the set of entry rules. Youngsters and adults can enter to help “paint the town,” as merchants offer their store windows to be decorated with traditional Halloween scenes—spooks and all.

The theme is “Monster Games” as the Pacific Palisades Junior Women’s Club sponsors its annual window-painting contest for children ages 6 to 12 years old. Applications are available beginning October 1 and are due by October 20 at the Chamber of Commerce, the Palisades Branch Library or online at www.ppjwc.com.
Painting in the business district begins on October 23 and must be completed by October 25. Prizes are awarded by age group, and windows are judged on the following criteria: originality, artistic ability, neatness and representation of the theme.
Mixed-age group entries, same-age group entries and individual entries are acceptable. A group is defined as four to ten people.
Prizes will be awarded on November 3 at 4:30 p.m. at the library. Contact: Jennifer Bryan at (310) 486-8669.
