LBCC students show out at costume contest

Both students and faculty flaunted their costumes down the stage in the auditorium at the LBCC Halloween costume contest, hosted on Thursday.

The contest had four categories; student solo acts, student groups, staff solo acts and staff groups. 

Winners and runner ups were given prizes like gift cards and swag bags for each category that were determined by the audience and an official judge panel made up of LBCC faculty.
