Spooks and
goblins will be haunting Paws Park at Wingate
Park, but these won't be
your standard Halloween spooks with the usual tricks or treats. These
trick-or-treaters will be four-legged with wagging tails and wet kisses and
they will be participating in the 3rd Annual Howling Halloween Costume Contest
& Fundraiser to benefit Paws
Park. Friends of Paws Park
volunteers will be hosting the event to raise money to help pay for maintenance
and improvements to Paws
Park. This year's
Top Dog Sponsor for the event is Dr. Gary Neuman and the Animal Medical Clinic
at Sawgrass Village.
