We had some of the cutest contestants at the 7th Annual Bow Wow Howl-O-Ween Hustle that was held in beautiful Bluebonnet Park in Ennis this year. The winner of the 1 mile fun run/walk was Jennifer Williams and her German Shepherd “Sasha” – they were dressed as the tortoise and the hare. For the first time, we had someone win two contests — Norma Tosch and her lab “Chloe” came dressed as Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf dressed in grandma’s clothes (complete with big reading glasses – hilarious), they won the best dog costume and owner pet combo costume. The fastest tail in Texas went to Kennette Davis and her Lab Mattie Mae. Our most expressive eyes contest winner was Susanne Voss and her Heinz 57 fluff ball “Ginger” and the best trick for a treat went to Valerie Morphis and her toy poodle “Maxwell”.
We raised over $5,000 for the event and kept costs low during preparations by utilizing donated items and purchasing “extras” with gift cards that we get for recycling ink cartridges. Little items can make a big difference – so be sure to help us out by turning in empty ink cartridges and toner (all sizes and brands) and your empty aluminum cans.
