November 1, 2017 (La Mesa) - The Hills in La Mesa made one patron scream in excitement this Halloween weekend with a costume contest grand prize of $10,000.
La Mesa’s The Hills hosted their second annual $10,000 costume contest on Saturday, Oct. 28. The costume winner, chosen from crowd popular vote, had the choice of accepting $500 cash or taking a 1 out of 10 chance at winning a $10,000. The risk taker had to choose the correct black glass ball with a gold bell in it.
The crowd went wild as Julie Aldag, dressed as Mary Poppins, chose correctly and won the $10,000. This is the second winner since the local bar started the contest last year. You can see a video of last year’s winner (Edward Scissorhands) HERE.
Julie Aldag, visiting from San Francisco, traveled back $10,000 richer and gave much of her winnings to her family who helped her create her Mary Poppins costume.
