3rd Annual Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Parade
10/21/2017 -

On Saturday, Oct. 21, 2017, dogs from throughout the region will don their best Halloween duds to support their human friends a world away. The 3rd Annual Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Parade will offer a morning of fun for families and pets while benefiting Project Restore, an Edwardsville charity dedicated to addressing education, clean water and medical care issues in developing countries.

The Parade will be held at Joe Glik Park in Edwardsville. Cash prizes will be awarded for the best pooch costume based on originality, creativity, behavior, and theme with owners. It’s free to watch the parade, but anyone participating in the costume contest is asked to donate $20 per dog to Project Restore. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. with the parade starting at 11 a.m.

Dogs must remain leashed, have current rabies and vaccination tags, and wear I.D. tags at all times. No puppies under four months old are allowed.

Proceeds from Howl-­O­-Ween will help Project Restore continue to sponsor the education of children orphaned by the Sudanese Civil War and improve the conditions of their school, the Nabitalo Secondary School in Uganda, Africa. 

The Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Parade is sponsored by Coldwell Banker and Brown, CKC Construction, Big Papa G, live music from Lanny and Julie, Kohl’s, Laurie’s Place, Nicole Plegge Creative, TheBANK of Edwardsville, and Louer Facility Planning Inc.
