Write a commentDeveloped in 2014 by the Merriam Barrett Guest House proprietor Martha Barrett and Victoria Usherwood Gailinas of iHeartOswego.com, they had a successful first year and have expanded it for 2015.
“We now have Day-Lite and Nite-Lite judging for all residential entrants (they must choose one or the other).” said Barrett “and we have opened up the contest to include all businesses (for Day-Lite judging) in the 13126.”
“In addition, we have upped the ante.” said Linda DeMassi of Port City Co-Op, one of the two new ‘FallOween Witches’ for 2015. “There are now three grand prizes of $250.00 each. One prize each for the winning residential Day-Lite, residential Nite-Lite and Day-Lite business entry.”
"We need more great events like these to create the supportive synergy between local businesses and our residents who take the time and effort to shop locally," said Laurie Marrano-Johnson, founder of the Seth project.
"We would like to thank iHeart Oswego for always being there to help bring our ideas to life!" Barrett added.
The registration deadline date for FallOween is Oct. 1 or until 50 entries have been received, whichever occurs first. For more information or to register online, go to www.FallOweenOswego.com or visit their Facebook page.
The contest is open to all residents in the 13126, free of charge. Businesses have a $10 entry fee. Prizes totaling $750.00 will be shared by the winners in each of the three categories.
iHeartOswego.com and the iHeart Corp have developed events like The Golden Pumpkin Awards, The Children's Christmas Parade and FallOween. USOswego (taking place for the first time, this November 11th and 13th) will be added to the growing list of events iHeartOswego.com continues to provide for its fellow community members.
