HELP DECORATE SIERRA 
MADRE FOR HALLOWEEN


Students between the ages of 9-17 are invited to participate in Sierra Madre’s spooktacular 
Halloween Window Painting Contest. Applications and guidelines will be distributed 
in private schools and can be found coming home with students in PUSD the week of 
September 6. They can also be picked up at the front desk of City Hall and at the Library 
where they have been available since the middle of August. Completed applications are 
due back to City Hall or the Library by 5 pm on Tuesday, 
October 11.

 Teams of up to four students of the same age group can 
work on a window design. At least one participant must 
be a Sierra Madre resident. Painting will be done from 
2:30-6:00 pm on Friday, October 21, and from 7:30-10:00 
AM on Saturday, October 22. Judging will follow and 
awards by age group will be given at 12:15 on Saturday. 

 Our local merchants are critical to the success of 
this event. They support us by allowing us to use their 
windows for the painting contest, through monetary 
donations to cover the cost of materials, and through the 
donation of other items that enhance the experience of 
the participants. We thank them for their help.

 This year’s Halloween Window Painting Contest is 
sponsored and underwritten by the Sierra Madre Civic 
Club and is free to participants. Specific questions may 
be directed to Margaret Switzer, event chair, Sierra Madre 
Civic Club at 626 355-8207. Last year’s participation 
enjoyed a record turnout as 275 children painted 88 
windows offered by 65 merchants. This was an increase 
of 40%. We look forward to your participation in this 
annual fun, fall activity.
