Howl-O-Ween Run 2005

The 5th Annual Howl-O-Ween Run was an enjoyable, fun time for everyone who attended. This year there were more runners of the Canine Species than ever before. We had canines dressed as Super Heros, Police, Criminals, Lions and of course, Little Red Riding Hood. This year we even had humans dressing as Canines. More than 250 runners registered and over 200 took part in the actual run. The weather was fabulous and held up for the entire morning with no rain or snow until after all the fun was finished.

Participants all received a run shirt and goodies. Two hundred and fifty pumpkins were given out along with 50 pounds of candy. Gib’s New York Bagels provided bagels for the runners and The Egg & I supplied cases of water. All runners, Human and Canine, received goodie bags,
filled with toys and various other pup
related items.
