This Saturday afternoon, the McCarren Park Dog Run is the place to be, for the 2nd Annual Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume and Trick Contest. The weatherman is forecasting 55 degrees with plenty of sunshine, so get Fido gussied up and head on over, and plan on spending the afternoon, from 1 – 4pm.
Packs of dogs will line up for the main event—THE DOGGY COSTUME CONTEST—led by MC DOG-E-DOG (backed by a DJ) and judged by local dog fanatics Todd Goldstein of the band ARMS (formally of Harlem Shakes), Molly Simms of BUST magazine, and Deenie Hartzog of Bourbon and Gloss. There will also be a myriad of other activities such as doggy TRICKS-N-TREATS competition, professional photo portraits for pups and their owners, and tons of great raffled prizes generously donated by local Brooklyn establishments.
You have four more days to cut, sew, glue, and practice tricks. There is no registration fee, but only the first 50 arrivals will become contestants, so get there early.
All dog lovers can contribute to the BARC Shelter; bring toys, food, poop bags, treats, water bowls. They’ve also got an Amazon wish list, so you can take a look and see what they need, and pick it up locally. Please support our local no-kill shelter as they wrap up their 20th year serving the community.
The Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume + Trick Contest is brought to you by the wonderful folks at Dog-E-Dog. Facebook event here.
