With Just a Spark of Imagination…

Author: Maggie Washo | Photographer: photography by anne

Don’t you dare buy a pre-fabricated plastic costume from buycheapcostumes.com for your little pumpkin! With just a spot of imagination and a little bit of preparation you can most likely find something mundane (right in your own house or garage) and make it marvelous!

The CH2 Team took these toddlers and transformed them into visions of Halloween loveliness – with minimal work and an even smaller budget. And just for the record, we had no help from Martha Stewart on this one…and most of us don’t even have children!

After using these photos for inspiration, we want to see what YOU come up with! Submit your child’s photo for our Harrowing Halloween Costume contest and enter to win a $50 Gift certificate to Island Playground and a $50 gift certificate to the restaurant of your choice! The winner will get their child’s photo placed in the December issue of CH2.

About Us

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.

Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.

CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.
