\"Costume<\/a>Thank you to everyone who sent in their wonderful and creative costumes to the Boo-Haul Halloween Costume Contest<\/a>! It was a very difficult process to choose the winners which were judged based upon skill, craftsmanship, creativity and use of U-Haul moving supplies<\/a> in the creation of a Halloween costume. You can see all of our costume contest entries on the U-Haul Pinterest board here<\/a>. And now for the winners…<\/p>\n

\"Gavin<\/a>

Congratulations to Gavin and Sam!<\/p><\/div>\n

Children:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gavin and his Transformer outfit are the winners in our children category!<\/p>\n

“This was a joint project between my four year old and I. He crawls around all day transforming between a tank and a boy, so I decided to design him a costume. The shape only took about 45 minutes of imagination, but the color and emblems involved many, many layers of paint, masking tape<\/a>, clear tape, and several sharpie markers! We just moved in about 2 months ago, and I needed a use for some of the boxes<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Now that is a great parent! You will have to find a Transformers book to read with Gavin on your brand new Kindle!<\/p>\n

Adults:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Rock<\/a>

Congratulations to Tammi and Steve!<\/p><\/div>\n

Congratulations to our winner Tammi for her excellent entry to our costume contest: Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots! I will let her explain the creation of these intricate costumes in her own words:<\/p>\n

“The costumes are constructed out of heavy cardboard (approximately 30 feet each robot), pieced together with packing tape<\/a> (12 rolls) and reinforced with hot glue.  Each robot stands an impressive 7 \u00bd feet tall and weighs 35 pounds.<\/p>\n

After practice with walking, dancing and some choreographed boxing moves, we\u2019re ready to Trick-or-Treat and enjoy all of the parties possible\u2026\u2026”<\/p>\n

Congratulations and we hope you enjoy your brand new Amazon Kindle Paperwhite!<\/p>\n

\"Penny<\/a>

Congratulations to Penny and Yuki<\/p><\/div>\n

Pets:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this category the winner is Penny, a 4 year old (28 in dog years) furry friend! She is modeling this very fine Pennysaurus outfit created from U-Haul Letter Totes<\/a> and duct tape<\/a>. Thank you to Penny and her loving mother Yuki for sending in this simple yet creative costume.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone who entered!<\/p>\n
