You know what they say—no (goblin) guts, no glory.
Congratulations to Jason Smith, a history teacher who has been chosen as the California winner of Patch’s Best Halloween Costume in America Contest.
Smith will receive $250 for winning California and move on to compete for the $5,000 national grand prize.
Parents posted hundreds of costume photos of themselves and their families from this Halloween or from years past. We had lots of ghouls, ghosts, and Honey Boo Boos to choose from, but Smith's porta-potty costume won us over. (For more laughs, be sure to watch the attached video of the costume too.)
The grand prize winner will be announced Monday, Nov. 12. To see other Orange County contest entries, click here.
This Porta Potty costume was so fun for him to make because it captures the fun of Halloween by making people smile and laugh. It's hard to see the details in the pictures posted but they make it even more hillarious. He made a toliet paper holder, occupied sign, cleaning log and some signs that say, "Ameri-Can Services" with a caption reading, "Doing our patriotic dooty since 1776", and a picture of an eagle carrying a toilet. The number to call is (888)4-Relief and says under it "We're #1 in the #2 business. And of course it all ties together as he is reading the election guide. He had so much fun watching kids and adults laugh and pose for pictures with him.
