According to Bark chairperson Shelley Endrey, this year’s event, slated for October 7 at Reeves Park, will feature a doggy Halloween costume contest, raffles, prizes, and the one-mile dog walk.
Additionally, Mercury cartoonist Alan MacBain will be on hand to draw caricatures of local pooches in exchange for donations.
