Halloween Howl!

Chappie and I attended this years Halloween Howl hosted by the Carl Schurz Park Conservancy. It was on 10/24th at the park on 84th and East End.  It is an annual event which helps maintain and clean the parks 2 dog runs. This year they had a Healthy Hound Fair where they allowed 10 vendors. I was lucky enough to be one of those vendors and it was AWESOME! There must have been 2000 pet friendly folks there to watch the Costume Contest. It was lovely to see so many dog and cat friendly like minded folk.

Petco was kind enough to give our table some dog treats to share and the new UNLEASHED offer us a few $10.00 gift cards to raffle off. Also Melissa Oneil the Pet Photographer on the UES allowed us to Raffle off a Pet Portrait Session, so we collected names and will be raffling the session on Halloween. I will be sure to keep you posted as to who the winner is.

The costumes where wonderful. I dressed Chappie as a King, because here at PRINCE REAL ESTATE your PET IS KING!  lol Regretfully, it was so busy that I didn't have a chance to get the names of the other dogs, so if one of them is yours please let me know so I can add it to my post.
