Contestants can compete in a variety of categories including:

• Baby/Toddler

• Elementary Age

• Middle School Age

• High School Age

• Adult

• Pet Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category, with organizers promising “lots of exciting prizes” for the most creative and spooky costumes.

Okmulgee Main Street’s Scare on the Square will also be held that afternoon in downtown Okmulgee. More details will be coming soon.
