Halloween at Welch Comer means two things: creative costumes and some seriously competitive chili!
Our team celebrated with our annual Halloween Costume Contest and Chili Cook-Off, bringing plenty of creativity, friendly competition, and Halloween spirit to the office.
After the votes were counted and the chili was thoroughly taste-tested, this year’s winners are:
🏆 Best Girl Costume: Sadi Reynolds as a Jedi with her R2D2 shop-vac cohort!
🏆 Best Boy Costume: Ryland Hoit as Draco Malfoy, complete with green tie!
🌶️ Chili Cook-Off
🥇 1st Place: Melissa Cleveland with a spicy White Chicken Chili
🥈 2nd Place: Ryland Hoit with a chunky tomato Classic Chili
🥉 3rd Place: Thomas Tucker with a saucy and smooth Classic Chili
Thanks to everyone who dressed up, brought their best chili recipe, and joined in the fun. We love traditions like these that bring our team together and make Welch Comer a pretty great place to work.
Happy Halloween from the Welch Comer team! 🎃
