Julianna Nicholson, a 12-year-old student at Polo Park Middle School, has landed a feature in the October issue of Costco Connection, the popular magazine for Costco members.
The picture, taken in 2022 when Julianna was 10, showcases her creative Halloween costume. Dressed as a Costco employee holding a tray of samples, Julianna’s costume earned her second place at Wellington’s annual Fall Festival costume contest held at Village Park.
Her mother, Christina Nicholson, a member of the Wellington Chamber of Commerce, helped bring the look to life by printing a custom name tag and sample sign. The red apron and Costco hat were purchased online, perfectly completing the ensemble.
“I wanted something fun and different, and Costco employees are always so friendly — plus, who doesn’t love samples?” Julianna said.
The feature in Costco Connection has brought local pride, showing that creative spirit and a love for the community can lead to national recognition.
