Attention boys and girls! It is time once again for Webb Weekly’s annual Halloween contest! We are taking this year’s contest back to it’s roots. The very first year we did this we counted Candy Corn, so we are going OG this year. I’m sure you know how this works, but just in case you forgot, let me refresh your memory.
Scattered throughout this issue you will find a variety of Candy Corn. All you need to do is count them — easy peasy. Then do the same thing next week — lemon squeezy. Take those two numbers, add them together and then send me your total. Remember, I am looking for the total number of Candy Corn in the October 17th and October 24th editions.
I will then take everyone who answered correctly and pick 10 random winners. Winners will receive a bucket full of goodies big enough to give you several cavities! Seriously, I should be apologizing to local dentists — or maybe asking for a cut!
The easiest way to enter the contest to is to email the answer to contest@webbweekly.com, or you can drop a post card in the snail mail at Webb Weekly, 280 Kane St., Suite 2, South Williamsport, PA 17702. Or, if you are so inclined, you can drop your entry off at our office, we are open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Entries must be submitted by Oct. 26th (not 19th, as previously printed) around noon or so and only one entry per person. Winners will be listed in the Oct. 31st edition. But I’ll call or email the winners prior to that.
Remember the contest is only open to kiddos 12 and under.
Previously, each year we alternated donating a dollar to either the SPCA or LAPS for each entry we received. But this year we have decided to switch it up, and Beckoning Cat Project will be the recipient of the donation. Be sure to get your entries in and help support a great cause. Plus ya know…candy. So. Much. Candy.
So look carefully and count them up! I get a little sneaky when I place them, so make sure you check every page closely!
So you better swish jellyfish! Get counting and good luck!!
A Halloween contest can only mean that fall is here and Halloween is right around the corner! Have you picked your costume yet?
We’d love to hear about you and/or your kids’ Halloween costumes, so share it with us on Facebook, or better yet, post some pictures!
If I receive enough pictures via Facebook (fb.com/webbweekly) and/or email (webbnews@webbweekly.com) maybe you’ll see your little one on an upcoming cover! You can even attach the picture to your email entry (contest@webbweekly.com).

October 17, 2018, 4:56 pmDid you mean that the entry deadline was the 29th? You stated that it was due by the 19th, but since we have to submit the totals for the 17th and 24th, that’s not possible. Just trying to clarify. Thanks!

October 18, 2018, 10:42 amThank you! Our Editor Steph says it’s a typo. 🙂 The entry deadline is actually on October 26th (not the 19th or 29th). The information will be corrected in this online draft. Thanks again!

October 25, 2018, 4:40 pmOk one more question, on page 4 of the 10-24-18 issue you have an ad for the contest, I see that the 5 small ones are examples and don’t go toward the total, does the big waving candy corn in the ad count? Thanks!
