Ashley Playford dressed up as a pirate carrying a mermaid this Halloween. Well, actually, she dressed up as the mermaid. Well... her creativity has earned her the title of Patch's Best Halloween Costume in America and a $5,000 grand prize.   It was Playford's use of an optical illusion that won us over. Take a look at the photo she entered on Peekskill-Cortlandt Patch! Almost 4,000 Patch users entered the contest from Oct. 15 to Nov. 5, with costumes ranging from the Eiffel Tower and Honey Boo Boo to a flower pot and a clever interpretation of "binders full of women."

Wyckoff's 'Headless Boy' Meets Supermodel Heidi Klum

Jack Hagan won Patch's national costume challenge

For one day this week, Jack Hagan might have been the luckiest kid in Wyckoff. Jack, 11, met supermodel Heidi Klum on Thursday after Klum selected his headless halloween costume as the winner of Patch's national costume contest last year.  "It was really exciting to finally meet Heidi Klum," Jack said.
