Eureka, CA, October 7, 2026 — The city of Ferndale is engaging its residents and visitors in a unique community event, the “Skeleton Showdown” contest. This annual tradition encourages participants to create and display elaborate skeleton-themed decorations along Main Street. The core of the event involves the public casting their votes to select the ultimate winner, officially crowned as “Ferndale’s Favorite Skeleton”.

These installations are intended to foster community spirit and add a festive atmosphere. Residents and local businesses are reportedly involved in preparing the displays, though specific details regarding the number of participants or the exact nature of the displays were not provided in the summary.
