Willie Wonka

Every year our office has Trick '0 Treating. A few years back our Mechanical department kicked it up a notch by decorating their entire department as a circus. So now everyone feels the need to decorate (elaborately) their spaces. This year was no exception and the Architectural department finally decided to come up with a theme as well. We decided on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We had our space decorated with candy trees, a chocolate station for fruit dipping, a nut room complete with cut out squirrels, a TV shrink ray room with miniture in the TV, and a fizzy drink station with bubble machine and bubbling grape soda. It was a blast and our costumes turned out great! Here are photos of some of the fun. I am dressed as one of the singing dolls that introduces the guests to the factory (before bursting into flames).

I didn't burst into flames for this event though! And no I did not wear my costume all day! We ended up winning the pizza lunch party up for grabs and the two Oompa Loompa's won best costume.
