Thousands of ghosts, goblins and witches will dress up in their best Halloween costumes on Saturday night to compete for $8,500 in cash prizes as part of the Bud Light Boo-nanza!

   1st Place $5,000
   2nd Place $2,500
   3rd Place $1,000

Judging will take place at a designated location on George Street (weather permitting) from 9:30pm -11:00pm and five (5) selected contestants will go on stage for final crowd judging at approximately 11:30pm.

Tickets cost $20.00 (plus service fees) and can be purchsed online or at participating North Atlantic Petroleum Orangestores in the Metro St. John's area.
