Bring Your Good Humor!
The 20th Annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest is This Saturday!

This Saturday, October 27th is the 20th Annual Great PUPkin Dog Costume Contest in Fort Greene Park! You won’t want to miss out on all the fun at our big 20th anniversary!

 

The 80 priority preregistration slots for entrants have sold out, but don’t panic! If you want to enter your dog in the contest, just come to the monument plaza in Fort Greene Park on Saturday, October 27. We will open the registration table at 10:30 am–we ask for a $5.00 per dog donation to enter. Please note we will only register an additional 40 walk-up contest entrants, first-come, first-served. Judging starts at 11:30 am sharp at the bottom of the monument stairs.

 

If you’re not planning to enter your dog in the contest, it’s free to come and watch! But please feel free to donate a buck or two if you’d like to help us cover expenses; we’ll be passing the hat for donations.

 

Rain date will be Sunday, October 28th, same time. If you’re subscribed to this list, you’ll be notified if the date has to be changed due to weather. See you there!
