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.
