The local Lions Club said Tuesday that it “regrets any offense” for awarding first prize in a Halloween costume contest to a girl in Ku Klux Klan robes.
People at the contest said 14-year-old Virginia Payne’s outfit featured swastikas and the phrases “Kill them all” and “White Power.”
“It was disgusting,” said Charity Snyder.
Virginia said her costume, inspired by a TV show about the Holocaust, was meant as a statement against racism.
