As you stroll through downtown Sierra Madre these days, you’ll be treated to 
some very creative Halloween window decorations courtesy of the youthful 
artists who participated in the Halloween window painting contest sponsored and underwritten by the Sierra Madre 
Civic Club. Over two hundred eighty painters aged 9-17 formed groups to decorate eighty-six windows. Their artistry 
and creativity made our three judges work very hard to determine the contest winners.

and use of color as criteria, the judges awarded the 
following groups winning certificates:

 Congratulations to all the winners and our thanks 
to all the painters for helping us decorate Sierra Madre for Halloween.

 Although committee chair Margaret Switzer, her right-hand woman Pat Krok, and many members from the Sierra 
Madre Civic Club worked long hours organizing, preparing for, and hosting the contest, we needed community support 
to make the event successful. We’d like to thank the forty-three merchants who allowed us to use one or more of their 
windows and a special thanks to Beantown, Buccaneer Lounge, Foothill HomeCare, Foothill Tek, Lunch Salon, Mother 
Moo, Ruiz Shoe Shop, Sierra Madre Pizza, Spears Engineering, Subway, and Yogurt & More who also donated money 
to offset our costs for supplies and window washing. Students from Alverno, La Salle, and Sierra Madre Middle School 
donated a whole afternoon helping us tape the eighty-six window spaces to use and covering brick store fronts and window 
boxes with newspaper to protect them from drippy paint. Their attitude and helpfulness made a tough job a lot easier. 
And, of course, we appreciate the time and thought our two teams of judges put into determining our contest winners. So 
do enjoy our beautiful, scary, funny, cute, spooky, clever window decorations knowing that it indeed does take a village.

 The Sierra Madre Civic Club is a civic and philanthropic organization. We meet the second Thursday of every month 
at 7:30 PM in the Hart Park House. You are welcome to join us to find out the other fun ways we support special events in 
Sierra Madre and how we raise money to give back to the community.
