The Boo Ball is this Saturday night at the Mid Hudson Civic Center in Poughkeepsie and there's lots of reasons to go. We've narrowed it down with a look at why you should consider attending if you haven't made up your mind for Halloween yet.

Cash: With $1,500 on the line, you could be walking out of there fatter in the wallet. There will be 5 $100 prizes for winners in categories like: funniest, scariest, sexiest, most outrageous and most original. Ultimately the crowd will determine who wins the $1,000 grand prize.

Convenience: It's Halloween, and you've got lots of options. But the Boo Ball offers an early kick off time, and with the cash giveaway a little after midnight, you've still got time to paint the town red afterwards. Plus with live music from Breaking Crazy and DJs between sets, the party never stops.

People: You are what makes the Boo Ball so great year after year! For more than a decade, people from all over the Hudson Valley have made this party a Halloween tradition. The costumes are always over the top and everyone gets more creative each year.

Tickets will be available at the door if you don't take advantage of discounts ahead of time.
