‘Creepy Doll Contest’ returns in Olmsted County

As Halloween approaches, an annual contest is back in southern Minnesota.

Olmsted County launched its "Creep Doll Contest" in 2019.

This year, there are nine doll contestants, including several dolls from the 1800s.

The winner will be crowned at a "Creepy Doll Cocktail Party," happening Oct. 23 in Rochester. There will be live music and experts will be there to answer questions about the dolls.

Voting takes place on Facebook and Instagram all month.
