With gorgeous sunny weather, it was another fun-filled family event for pets and people on Saturday, October 26, 2024. The Dog Park at Ann Van Middlesworth Park in Hillsborough, New Jersey was once again the scene for the annual HOWL-O-Ween Dog Costume Parade with local girl scouts as judges for category winners.
Belle Mead Animal Hospital participated with a table full of treats and information. BMAH also donated a Gift Basket for one of the lucky costume winners. Participant check-in began at 8:30 a.m. by the Pavilion. The town Mayor kicked off the parade at 9:00 a.m. with a thank you to the business gift doners, and folks got in line with their costumed dogs, and the parade began by making their way up the path to the dog park.
The costume creativity never disappoints at this event! Dogs of all sizes masqueraded as butterflies, lions, witches, and bats, to name a few!
The raffle winner of the BMAH Gift Basket was fully costumed with her dog, Shayara, a pit and boxer mix. Other category winners named were Best Large Dog, Best Small Dog, and Best Group.
Our patient Jazzy participated with her mom and was so excited to get treats at our table! All the dog participants were dressed to impress, and even if not awarded the best in their category, they were still winners in our opinion for showing up and showing off!
Thanks Hillsborough Department of Parks and Recreation for organizing another successful event. A Howling good time was had by all.
