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!
