This event is family-friendly and free to the public. On Facebook, Clash Dayton warns guests not to pay anyone charging for registration fees, saying “there are a lot of scammers out there that will target this event just as they did last year.”
A special spooky-themed pinup pageant will be held during the event, judged by Greta Grenadine. The contest will begin at 2 p.m. at the corner of Jackson and Fifth Street. Entrants must keep their costume family-friendly.
Clash also notes anyone participating in the contest will not be judged on size, shape or age in particular. The judges will evaluate from criteria including overall look (outfit/hair/makeup), creativity/effort and stage presence. Other rules and registration information can be found on Facebook.
