THE BEST PARTY ART

Mummies munched and milled about; Dracula danced to the "Monster Mash." And while Pocahontas bobbed for apples and Power Rangers played games with princesses, a gallery of ghosts gobbled up goodies. Skeletons and witches lurked about.

What a party! Or should we say parties. Your entries in NewsFun's annual Halloween Art Contest revealed a group of young artists who knows how to throw a party.

More than 400 readers entered our contest, which asked entrants to submit an original color drawing of a Halloween party.

And speaking of parties, the classes of the four winners in each age category will be treated to a party courtesy of NewsFun and The Roanoke Times. Now, on to the winners . . .

In the sixth-eighth-grade category, the winner is David Quesenberry of Indian Valley, an eighth-grader at Floyd County High School. His teacher is Nanette Johnson.

Alex Kopakowski of Blacksburg, who is in the fifth grade at Kipps Elementary, takes top honors in the fourth-fifth-grade category. Her teacher is Martha Ann Stallings.

The first-place winner in the second-third-grade category is Anna Lee Burnstein, a second-grader at Crystal Spring Elementary in Roanoke. Christie Barlow is her teacher.

In the kindergarten-first grade category, Mary Lynn Buchanan of Troutville is the winner. She is a kindergarten pupil in Jane Chudina's class at Troutville Elementary.
