SCRATCHPAD Halloween contest winners By NIKKI DAVIDSON COAST WEEKEND EDITOR Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 Coast Weekend Halloween DIY contest! Last month, we asked readers to submit photos of their best seasonal home decor, costumes and treats. We received a variety of submissions, which were then voted on by the public. The winning entry is “Zombie Buff et,” an edible display described by creator Rose- mary Johnson as a ham-covered skull with treats displayed in a zombie body. The setup includes skeleton serv- ing hands, paired with a side of delicious “intestines.” NIKKI DAVIDSON Rosemary Johnson ‘Zombie Buff et’ is the 2021 Coast Weekend Halloween DIY contest winner. COAST WEEKEND EDITOR THURSDAY NOV. 4 PHOTO BY Theresa Schlitt ‘Beware the Kraken’ is the 2021 Coast Weekend Halloween DIY contest second-place winner. RS STAFF AND CONTRIBUTO ON THE COVER A group plays a game of pickleball in an indoor facility at Lighthouse Oceanfront Resort in Long Beach. The second-place winner is “Beware the Kraken,” submitted by Theresa Schlitt. The nautical decor depicts a pirate fi ghting off a Kraken. A Kraken is a gigantic sea monster that resembles an octopus or squid. The leg- end is rooted in Scandinavian folklore. If you missed a chance to enter the Hal- loween contest, there’s another opportunity coming up. Coast Weekend’s 2021 Photo Contest will launch later this month. Residents from along the coast, from Willapa Bay to Rock- away Beach, are welcome to showcase pho- tos captured this year. Three winners will be selected from the contest entries, plus a fourth People’s Choice Award winner. The top 10 photos will appear in an edi- tion of Coast Weekend. The top 25 photos will be published online. 2021 ARTS & EN TERTAINM ENT WEEKL Y KING OF THE COURT PICKLEBAL L SURGES ON STORMY WE ATHER ARTS FESTIV AL PAGE 2 NORTH COA ST PAGE 6 CALENDAR COORDINATOR SARAH SMITH CONTRIBUTORS M.J.
