On October 31st, we held out first annual Howl-O-Ween Pawty at the Home Run Dog Park. We had four main costume categories this year in our storybook themed contest. The four categories were: Scariest, Silliest, Most Original and Best Costume Duo (Human and Dog).
Ribbons were given for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in each category. Each of the first place winners in these four categories won a $10 gift certificate from Pet Supplies Plus. We also awarded the Best Overall ribbon to one top contestant, who also was awarded a special gift basket from Pet Supplies Plus along with a $25 gift certificate.
The event drew over 110 people and a lot of entrants to the contest. The judge was Friends of Calhoun County Dogs Parks committee member Jeff Breedlove. Below you will find the photos of the first place winners in all four categories, and also who won Best Overall.
The Howl-O-Ween Pawty was a fundraiser for both the Home Run Dog Park, and the Battle Creek Police Departments K-9 Project to add a new dog to the police force. The event was co-sponsored by Honor Credit Union, the Friends of Calhoun County Dog Parks Committee, Redbow Photoography, Pet Supplies Plus and the Battle Creek Police Department.
Thank you for all who came out to participate, and we look forward so seeing even more exciting costumes next year! Woof!
