Happy Halloween!

Friday was Southwest's Haunted Headquarters Halloween celebration--one of my favorite days of the year!

I don't really know how to describe it--each department picks a theme, dresses in costume, and most of them will put on a skit or do a carnival or haunted house too. I'm talking professional-grade performances! Stomp routines, videos, singing and dancing that would make broadway jealous. It's like grub meets Sing Song for you ACU peeps.

Folks bring their kids (or their parents) up to headquarters and you can go from show to show all day long. It's amazing! Out department helps to plan the day and set the schedule, so we don't have a skit ourselves, but man, those judges have such a hard decision! The Corporate Communications Team dressed up like Cowboys and Cowgirls, but the pirate costume was definitely most popular among our Employees--Especially our CEO, Gary Kelly who masqueraded as Captain Jack Sparrow for the day.

The competition was fierce. Each group gave their all! Here's a shot from the Purchasing Department's skit. You might recognize this guy if you look real close...It was so fun, and the perfect way to start the weekend!
