Burnsville plans Halloween costume contest for pooches

Burnsville’s four-legged friends are about to enjoy an event all of their own. It will be popping up this October in Alimagnet Dog Park.

The venue is set to offer pet parents, and the general public as well, a barking good time. It will be dog friendly, and much of the fun will have been planned with pooches in mind.

The dogs are encouraged to be in costume, and there will be a puppy parade that winds its way through a haunted forest. Fur kids can visit the tricks-for-treats station, and space has been provided for an assortment of pet-related vendors to set up shop. Food trucks will also be on site, and prizes will be presented to the top entries in the costume competition, with several judging categories available.

Planning an outdoor activity may require ordering a variety of suitable decor. A banner printing company will have lots of options available, including reusable styles. These can be rolled up or folded flat so they will be easy to store, and can be made from durable materials that can withstand repeated exposure to the elements.

If every dog does indeed have its day, that day will be on Saturday, October 28, when the Howl-o-Ween costume contest rolls in. It will start at 12:00 pm and admission is free.
