The TradeKing 2015 Halloween Costume Contest!

If you’ve read my blog for awhile, you know the TradeKingteam goes big for Halloween. Year after year, our employees pull out the stopsto compete in an office Halloween costume contest, and the ante just keepsgetting higher. (Catch up on previous year’s revelries here and here.)

Here are 2015’s winners and all of our excellentparticipants. You all deserve an extra mini-Snickers in my book!

Marketing really brought the goods this year. Nabbing the #4slot was marketing’s own Jaron Strom as “Lieutenant Dangle” from the TV programReno 911!. Marketing also claimed the#2 prize in Jessica Hoelscher’s uncannily accurate portrayal of Flo from theProgressive TV commercials.

Another strong showing from marketing by ArwenVarner-Howland, who came to work on Friday as Mary Poppins. Even Nina Hassing’s little dog Bailey got into the spiritwith her Marie Antoinette costume!

Marketing’s stiffest competition this year came from the Techteam. They scored both the #3 and #1 spots this year. Jason McLeod won #3 asthe Disney character Wreck-It Ralph, while Brandy Paul’s “THE T-Rex” came in as2015’s #1 Halloween costume. You gotta ask yourself: is Brandy actually insidethat thing, or did she just send a giant stuffed dinosaur to work today? And afollow-up question: would T-rexes have gone extinct if they’d just learned tocode?

Be Good,
