We’re 12 years strong with our Annual Halloween Costume Contest, and this year was another blast! Every year, we love seeing how creative, funny, and inventive our employees can be with their costumes — and 2025 did not disappoint. From solo outfits to entire store groups getting into the spirit, the competition was fierce and the results were amazing.

For the past several years, our contest categories have been judged by none other than Joe Steet Sr. and Steve Ponte Sr., and this year, our winners are:
🎨 Best DIY: Rain Storm — Suzi Smith, Steet Ponte VW
😂 Funniest: Technician Bananas — Steet Toyota Yorkville
📺 Best Pop Culture: Pirates of the Caribbean — Liz Uebelhoer & Will Marriott, Steet Ponte Ford Lincoln
✨ Most Creative: Moana Family — Josh Perez, Steet Ponte Chevy
👥 Best Group: Crayon Box — Steet Ponte Nissan (entire store dressed up!)
🏆 Joe’s Favorite: 50’s Sock Hop — Cyndi Wilson, United Auto Sales
🌸 Steve’s Favorite: 70’s Hippie — Amy Biggie, Steet Toyota Johnstown

From clever DIY costumes to full-group efforts, our employees never fail to impress. The creativity, humor, and teamwork shown in this year’s contest reflect the fun-loving spirit that makes our Steet Ponte Auto Group family so special.
A huge congratulations to all of our winners and participants — your efforts helped make this another memorable and festive Halloween across all of our stores.
