Ellen Trout Zoo – Zoo Boo Costume Contest Winners In Lufkin, Texas

The Ellen Trout Zoo - Zoo Boo was one for the ages this past Friday and Saturday night. I was there for all the candy, the costumes, and of course all the animals after dark.

There were many more people in attendance Saturday, and I saw just as many parents in costume as I did children. Everyone seemed to have a great time test-driving their costumes before the big day on October 31st, 2022.

Some of the kids in attendance brought the heat to the costume contest. There were so many contestants and the competition was fierce.

Winner's Names From The Saturday 2022 Zoo Boo Costume Contest In Lufkin

There were two age divisions divided into 4 categories, and the judges had the task of finding the best of the best. Here are the winners from the Saturday night event.

Ages 0-4

• Creative - Tractor - Samuel Corbett
• Cute - Spider - Zac Fawvor
• Funny - Alfalfa - Greyson Marquez
• Scary - Chucky - Nash Luna

Ages 5 -10

• Creative - Peacock - Ella Putman
• Cute - Winniefred - Presley O'Quinn
• Funny - Demogorgon - Audrey Luna
• Scary - Bloody Mary - Bindie Coats

The judges had to think about the 5 - 10 age division for quite a while. Sometimes the performance clinched the win for some of the kids.

When Audrey Luna sprinted across the judging area in her Demogorgon body suit from Stranger Things she really sold it. She ran faster on all fours than some people do on two legs.

If you are interested in the Friday event I did manage to get a few of the winners' names. In the Friday competition for the 5 to 10 year-olds Garrison won the cutest as Mac & Cheese, creative was Jacob as a Game Warden, and the funniest was Penelope as a Sumo Wrestler.
