5 Great Costumed Groups in Local Pillow Fight History

V1 Staff |

Volume One's annual April Fool's Day Pillow Fight may now be nothing more than memories (as our last one was in 2012), but we can still look back over the fluffy attacks. Here are some of the greatest group costumes from over the years. 

1. The (Ever)Green Spandex Band, 2010

Members of bluegrass rock outfit Evergreen Grass Band sported neon green unitards (above) and sprang from nowhere when the fight started. Awesome.

2. Just Local Food, 2006

In surprise bombardment fashion, folks representing Just Local Food jumped from the back of their delivery truck clad in carrot smocks and rushed the battle zone as it began.

3. The Pillow-Strapped Berman Family, 06-10

This dedicated family has shown up every year, often with highly personalized helmets, goggles, and pillow-based armor emblazoned with drawn-on targets and words like “Hit Me.”

4. The Chippewa Valley Roller Girls, 2010

Clad in their signature punky costumes and pads, many of the (then) newly formed Chippewa Valley Roller Girls pummeled people with pillows.

5. The Pillow Fight Inspectors, 06-The End

We gotta toot our own horn here a bit, cuz the staff and contributors of Volume One have every year come with lab coats, helmets, and clipboards to make sure it’s all good clean fun.
