The Virtual Spooky Pooch Parade (September 8 to October 6) has arrived, and registrations are now open!
It’s been said that when times get ruff, dogs serve as the ultimate source of comfort. In that case, we want to make a safe celebration of costumed canines paw-sible for all.
In an effort to ensure health and safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, LakewoodAlive announces the 13th Annual Spooky Pooch Parade sponsored by Ganley Subaru will be held virtually, with 12 lucky winners having their dogs highlighted in LakewoodAlive’s 2021 calendar and one grand prize “Best In Show” winner being determined by public voting.
Our Virtual Spooky Pooch Parade will feature a photo contest. Each registered participant is guaranteed having their costumed canine photo submission considered by a panel of community judges for inclusion in LakewoodAlive’s 2021 wall calendar, and each entry includes a copy of this full-color calendar. A virtual unveiling of the 12 lucky winners will take place on take place on October 17 – the original date of the Spooky Pooch Parade. Stay tuned for more details.
The general public will then be able to cast votes October 13th through 16th (at noon) by “liking” photos in a Facebook album and on Instagram consisting of the 12 calendar finalists to determine the “Best In Show” winner of the Virtual Spooky Pooch Parade. That winner will be featured on the October page of the calendar and receive one year’s worth of free dog food courtesy of Pet’s General Store.
