Do you have a lot of spooky decorations ready to go for Halloween? The Barnegat Township Recreation Department invites you to sign up for a Halloween home decorating contest.
The deadline to register is Wednesday, Oct. 28. Online voting on who has the fanciest and scariest displays will run through Oct. 30. The winners will be announced on Halloween, Saturday, Oct. 31.
A link for casting votes will be found on the Barnegat Township Recreation Facebook page. The winner will be determined by who has the most online votes. First prize is $100, while the second-place winner gets $75.
“Anyone can vote,” said Stacey Fahringer, township assistant recreation director. “You don’t have to be a Barnegat resident.”
The winners will appear on the recreation department website at barnegat.net. Click on “departments,” then “office of recreation.”
In addition, the department is holding a “Pumpkin Patch Bingo” on Thursday, Oct. 22, outside the recreation center located at 900 West Bay Ave. Petting zoo opens at 5:30 p.m., bingo begins at 6. The cost is $5 per family.
