Four years ago, it all started with a school bus costume for Blake Mompher. Every October since, the attention-getting Halloween costumes for the Delaware, Ohio, resident with spina bifida have become more elaborate and creative, gaining hundreds of likes on social media. There was a fire truck, a local TV meteorologist, and even Kraft macaroni and cheese — which led to him getting a year's supply of the comfort food from the product's maker.
The big question this Halloween was what the 9-year-old and his family were going to think of next. The answer: McDonald's golden French fries. Blake's costume caught the attention of McDonald's, and a representative reached out to the family to offer him a certificate for a year's supply of French fries, according to a post from the Team Blake Facebook page, which chronicles Blake's day-to-day activities.
Blake had originally wanted to be an airplane for Halloween, but he changed his mind about a week before the costume was going to be made, according to his dad, Aric Mompher. "It's always a last-second thing," he said.
