"In college, I was a beer pong ball and my friend was the cup. We made the costumes ourselves, too." -- Steve Schaefer, Oneonta, lumber.
"My favorite was probably when I was a taco when I was 7 years old." -- Skyler Reak, Unadilla, high school senior.
"Pippi Long-stocking. My sister and I took wire hangers and twisted them into our braids so they would stick out. I was in my 30s." -- Jodi Christian, Otego, homemaker.
"When I was 10, I dressed up as half-man, half-woman. I saw it in a movie so that's what gave me the idea. My mom thought it was a strange thing to dress up as." -- Kelly O'Hara, Unadilla, home renovator.
"We didn't have a lot, so my mom made me into a cluster of grapes by blowing up a bunch of purple balloons. It was great. I was 6." -- Maria Fuentes, the Bronx, SUNY Oneonta student.
"The costume I was most excited about was probably a Snickers bar. I was in second grade and I got to wear it to our school costume party." -- Laura Carpenter, Oneonta, full-time mother.
