Halloween Fun

While hanging out at the craft show on Saturday (notice I didn't say selling at the craft show), we noticed something. Halloween weekend, coupled with middle-aged women's propensity to buy and wear holiday-themed attire, offered us a challenge: catalog and calculate Halloween wear.

We set the point system as follows:

Shirts/Sweaters/Vests = 1 point
Average Accessories (more discrete, like candy corn earrings) = 1 point
Headgear and Stand Out Accessories (i.e. bat glasses) = 2 points
Costumes = 2 points
Pants (the holy grail of holiday wear) = 3 points

We set goals with different prize levels and began.

The day was ours. A cornucopia of Halloween garb paraded past our booth, multiplying into an outstanding 81 points: 51 sweaters/shirts, 10 small accessories, 9 stand out accessories, and 1 full costume.

Unfortunately, the elusive Halloween pants were not to be found.
