PHOTOS: Winners of Sierra Madre Halloween Window Painting Contest

Take a look!

Information provided by the Sierra Madre Civic Club

The annual Sierra Madre tradition of painting the downtown merchants’ windows for Halloween continued in fine fashion this year.  Last week-end, over 160 students from local schools participated in painting over 50 windows in our downtown area.  This was an overwhelming response by local students, and wonderful support from our local merchants.

This year, the Halloween Window Painting event was sponsored the Sierra Madre Civic Club and was free to all participants.  Marcia Bent chaired the committee of 8 Civic Club members.  Local students from the ages of 9-17 were eligible to enter.  Painting began on Friday afternoon, October 25th and concluded by 11am on Saturday, October 26th.  Judging followed and awards were presented at Kersting Court in the early afternoon.  Judges were Civic Club President, Jean Coleman, Cathy Imhoff representing the Creative Arts Group, and Sierra Madre School art teacher, Barbara Wamboldt.
