Get your ghosts and goblins out of storage because the Batavia Park District will be hosting its second Halloween House Decorating Contest.

Prizes will be awarded for Best Overall Theme and People's Choice.

"Last year was the first Halloween House Decorating Contest in Batavia and we had over 30 households participate! We had no idea Batavia loved Halloween so much," exclaimed Katie Drum, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at the park district.

All displays will be judged and photographed between 4 and 9 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 23. This contest is for Batavia residents only.

Addresses of all entries will be published in local media unless specified otherwise at the time of registration.

People's Choice voting will take place from Oct. 24 to Oct. 30 on the district's Facebook page and the house with the most "likes" by noon Wednesday, Oct. 30, wins.

Winners will receive a Batavia Park District prize package and a sign to display in their yard. Households also have the new option to have their decorations judged in daylight or at night depending on their theme.

Registration deadline is Tuesday, Oct. 22. Fee is $5.

For information or registration, call (630) 879-5235 or visit www.bataviaparks.org.
