			Every year the public anxiously waits to see 
			what clever costume Mayor Keith Snyder will come up with. Traditionally he has chosen to impersonate a fellow city official. This year that choice was city 
			attorney Blinn Bates. Pictured to the left is Bates in casual 
			dress and Snyder wearing what Bates normally wears to the weekly 
			city council meetings. Snyder had the costume "correct," right 
			down to wearing shoes with no socks, which is something Bates 
			normally does. Snyder said his big dilemma in 
			doing this year's outfit was getting his hair colored to match Bates. In the end, Snyder said he had more hair coloring on his hands than 
			he did on his head, but nonetheless, he was a convincing substitute 
			for the young attorney.
