Supplies used were all purchased from Amazon, faux fur, black straws, white duct tape and brown hoodie with brown sweatpants. He said they set Velcro on the inside of the faux fur and on the back of the sweater and hood area to keep his faux fur and quills from falling down. “Everyone liked his outfit, when we took him down main street trick or treat in Lander, Wyo., many quoted the best outfit they seen and filled his bucket with candy.”

He ended the night with lots of candy.
