Halloween 1989! My friend and I dressed as the Beach Boys (Avalanche and Buddy Rose). Mom made us some big board shorts, and we got some beach-themed t-shirts, stuffed them with pillows, and took a giant beach ball to the ring with us! We thought we were so funny! It was the first time I got to step inside the ring, and that was a REAL thrill! The contest was chosen by crowd noise, so when it came to our turn, I was really hamming it up and trying to get the crowd to cheer for us. Don Coss had to stop me! 😂 Buddy Rose walked by us on the way to the crow's nest and said he thought the costumes were great! We won tickets for next Saturday night.
