The Hoe-Down is Just Days Away!


Howdy Ya'll! We're busy getting ready for the Hoe-Down this weekend, and I just wanted to check in and make sure you all are ready too! We have a fun-filled day planned for kids, adults and dogs alike.

A few reminders:

  • Saturday morning is the Celebrate Your Princess Breast Cancer Walk at Cross Creek Ranch. This annual event is always a blast, and I look forward to wearing pink and strutting my stuff over there every year. If you haven't registered, click here to do so (by Thursday so you get a deal) and we will see you Saturday morning, walking for Team MeBe!
  • Don't forget the Costume Contest at the Hoe-Down. Click here for details. We will have "celebrity" judges and awesome prizes- you do NOT want to miss out! No canine costume yet? No problem! Swing by WT, say hello, and pick one up. We have a huge selection and all sizes available.
Still need a reason to make the trip to Fulshear Saturday afternoon? This year at the Hoe-Down, we will have
  • Fred Rusk Zydeco Band
  • Face and Hair Painting
  • Balloon Artist Clown
  • Games and Trick-Or Treating
  • 65 foot obstacle course, moonwalk and bungee jump

It's Hoe-Down Time!


It's October- my favorite time of year! The weather is cooler (well, at least for several hours a day), the pumpkins arrive soon, and in just a few short weeks is the annual Waggin' Tails Pet Ranch Hoe-Down! If you've never been to one of our Hoe-Downs, mark your calendars NOW. You do not want to miss it. This year, we are teaming up with the Celebrate Your Princess breast cancer awareness walk and are doing both events the same day!

As usual, the Hoe-Down will have tons to keep both your two and four legged family members having fun for hours. We have games, trick-or-treating and inflatables for the kids, live music, food and a pumpkin patch for the whole family, and treats, pet photography and a costume contest for your canine family members.
 
Ok, so let's talk costumes. You dogs better start planning  your costumes now, because word is the competition is going to be fierce.
 
Exhibit A:
 
There's going to be several categories for the contest, judged by several city officials and business owners (and we'll have some GREAT prizes for the winners):
  • Best costume for small breed dog (under 40 pounds)
  • Best costume for medium/large breed dog (over 40 pounds)
  • Best kid/dog pair
  • Best adult/dog pair


The Hoe-Down is from 1:00-4:00 pm this year, and judging will be at 2:30 pm.
 
Need costume inspiration? Come by Waggin' Tails- we have a huge selection of canine costumes!
