Putting the "Boo" in Boonville: Spooktacular Display Contest!!
It’s time to put the "Boo" in Boonville and bring back that old-time festive spooky spirit.
Let’s fill our streets with spooky, creative, and downright fun Halloween displays made from whatever you can get your hands on. Scrap lumber, cardboard, old furniture, hay, sticks, recyclables, or anything else you can dream up. It doesn’t have to cost much, it just has to bring a little magic, fright, or laughter to the neighborhood.
You can build in your front yard, on your porch or lawn, or even in the windows or storefront of your business, as long as it’s visible from the street or sidewalk. Make it haunting, make it funny, make it weird or whatever you envision, just make it safe.

How to Join the Fun
Enter your display on the Stoney Shire website once submissions open. After your display is set up and registered, it will be officially entered for judging and public voting.
Important: All displays must be located within the town limits of Boonville to qualify.
Key Dates:
- Submission Start: October 13, 2025 at 12:00 PM
- Submission Deadline: October 28, 2025 at 7:30 PM
- Voting Ends: October 31, 2025 at 12:00 PM
Voting will open shortly after the submission deadline and run until the end date, giving everyone time to see each display before casting their vote. This schedule also gives us enough time to get your certificates and prize money to you so you can enjoy candy and tasty pizza with your family and friends on Halloween night.
Judging:
Final scores will be determined using a combined system of public votes and judges’ scores. Four non-participating individuals selected by Stoney Shire Inc. will serve as judges, and their scores will count for 30% of the overall decision. The remaining 70% will come from verified public votes.
What You Could Win
The winner will receive four large two-topping pizzas from Luigi's (sponsored by Stoney Shire Inc.) and $100 in cash, along with serious bragging rights and their name featured on the Stoney Shire platforms.
This is your chance to make your mark as Boonville’s top Halloween creator.
A Few Final Tips
Keep it safe, keep it fun, and keep it creative. Remember, this is about community spirit, not spending big. Use what you have, work with friends or family, and most of all, enjoy the process.
The more unique and eye-catching your display, the better.
