FOCUS ON TEXAS
Costumes
By Ashley Clary
We sifted through the many photos of ghouls, ghosts, goblins and fairies to find you these four equally deserving entries. It was nearly impossible to choose, but in the end we decided to bring you a bit of diversity, including costumes for Halloween, Christmas and performance.
United Cooperative Services member Karen Charles snapped this photo of her husband, Mike, dressed as an 1880s Father Christmas riding aboard a stagecoach to greet the good children in the Old West town of Buck Creek.
Sometimes pumpkin patches hold a cute, sleepy little surprise! Daniel and Sheri Clifton dressed their then 4-week-old son Luke for the annual tradition of pumpkin-picking at their nearby church in Cedar Park. “He slept during the entire outing,” Daniel said. They are members of Pedernales Electric Cooperative.
Every time we looked at this photo, it cried: “Pick me! Pick me!” Grayson-Collin Electric Cooperative members Pat and Debby Crowder showed off their impeccable representations of the world’s favorite cartoon ogres, Shrek and Princess Fiona, at a Halloween party in Collinsville.
The young dance members of Ballet Folklórico Los Altos de Jalisco of Bryan pose happily in full dress with their trophies, won at a competition in Bastrop. The agency is a member of Bryan Texas Utilities.
