Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office including pumpkin decoration contest in Trunk or Treat
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office is including a pumpkin decorating contest as part of its Trunk or Treat events.
Below is a press release on the announcement:
The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office is excited to bring 11 incredibly decorated pumpkins to Trunk-or-Treat events throughout the County. Every Halloween, team members from across the Sheriff’s Office compete in a pumpkin decorating contest with a top prize of “Crowd Favorite” that is won by votes from the public on social media, and in-person voting at Halloween events. This contest is sponsored by the Sheriff’s Managers Association (SMA) and the Deputy Sheriff’s Association (DSA). This years’ entries were crafted by team members from the Northern Branch Jail, Santa Maria Substation, Forensics, Systems and Technology, Financial Services, and patrol deputies.
Commander Raney, President of SMA said, “It's a treat to see the creativity of our employees and to hear their screams of support as they rally around their creations in the race for the coveted Crowd Favorite trophy.”
Corydon Mathews, DSA Executive Director said, “The DSA is proud to support such a fun event that highlights the creativity of our members. Not only is it a fun competition and morale builder for our troops, but it is an opportunity to connect with the community during spooky season.”
Sheriff’s team members will be showcasing the pumpkins at three Trunk-or-Treat events this year and would like to encourage the public to come see them in-person and vote for their favorite.
