Not All Heroes Wear Capes (But some of them do!)

The Costume Contest will be held on FRIDAY, July 12th at 6pm in the Alltech Arena. (Hopefully you remembered that the Costume Contest is on Friday evening this year and the Live Auction in on Saturday evening?!)

For this year's costume contest we're asking one question - what makes a hero? Heroes come in all different shapes and sizes, from caped crusaders to members of the armed services to everyday people (and horses) changing the world in a small way. Proudly show off your favorite hero in the "Not All Heroes Wear Capes (But some of them do!)" Costume Contest! And don’t forget that prizes will be awarded to the winners!

Please be sure to arrive at the Alltech Arena South Hall by 5:30 pm to check in with event staff. All costumes must be family friendly and must fit within the size parameters listed in the rules. Any costume deemed inappropriate by the judges will not be allowed to take part in the Costume Contest. Prizes will be awarded to the top three people or groups in each category. Categories include: Individual Adult, Adult Group, Individual Child, and Child Group. The age cut-off is the same as BreyerFest tickets - adults are ages 13 and over, kids are ages 12 and under. Costumes are judged on quality of execution and best overall theme, and prizes are awarded at the judges' discretion.

We revisited some of our favorite costumes on the BreyerFest Blog last year (you can reread that post here) but there were so many brilliant costumes we couldn’t resist sharing a few more!
