The Hudson Valley comes together each year for Halloween at the Boo Ball in Poughkeepsie. With the holiday falling on a Saturday this year, there was even more reason to party!

The Mid Hudson Civic Center provides plenty of room for people to show off their amazing costumes. Judging the costume contest was no easy task based on the fact that everyone looked so good! Our secret panel of judges determined the 5 $100 dollars winners out of hundreds of entries. But in the end, the crowd chose the 'Pool Shark' as the best overall costume earning them the $1,000 grand prize.

The band Breaking Crazy performed with DJ Joey Ech spinning between sets to keep the party rocking. As you can see from the photos (above) and video (below), a good time was had by all.

Planning has already begun for next year's Boo Ball which will be held October 29th, 2016 at the Mid Hudson Civic Center.
