Kaleidoscope Art Market is hosting this year's Krampus Fest on Saturday, December 9 at the El Paso County Coliseum at the outside pavilion. And although Krampus can be a little scary, this is an all ages event- and it is completely free!

Kaleidoscope Art Market has held their Krampus Fest for several years now and I'm honored that they have asked me to judge their Krampus contest for the fifth year!

This year, they will also be accepting donations for the Reynolds Home who are in need of items such as toilet paper, baby wipes and 13 gallon trash bags.

This year there will be four Krampus winners. They will have the El Paso Krampus King AND Queen for adults, and the El Paso Krampus Prince and Princess for kids. Each year the costumes gets bigger and better; and it gets harder to judge the contestants! I'm super excited to see the Krampus prince and princess entries as well as the adults; who will be crowned a winner? We'll have to wait and see!
