Costume Contest Pictures

The November 7, 2004 Party
This was a holiday party of the Northern California Rat Community with a holiday potluck, a costume contest and a gift exchange. The weather was nice enough to hold the party outside. The winner of the costume contest was Kenyon Anderson of Placerville, CA and his rat Yahiko dressed very creatively as Rat Stew. Second place went to Ed Luckin of Oakland, CA and his rat Boots dressed as Captain Hook. Third place went to Yresim Demus of San Jose, CA and her rats Kunoichi as Jack and Hecate as Barbosa from the Pirates of the Caribbean.
