Ventura-- Harbor Village went to the dogs, Saturday, October 30, as the HOWL- O-WEEN Dog Costume Contest brought a large crowd of furry friends decked out in costumes with their “hoomans” having a great time.
THE dogs were judged for Best in Show,
Spookiest, Most Sea- Worthy, Cutest, Prettiest, and Most Creative categories.
The outdoor event drew a big crowd as the event sponsor, Pet Barn Ventura, provided the treats as they completed their walk.
Ventura Harbor and Port District Marketing and Events Coordinator Ruby Emery said the event is Covid-19 safe and is outdoors in the sea air.
“We encourage mask- wearing,” she said. “The crowd here is especially kind and compliant. We have a sanitation station, and we’re staying six feet apart as much as possible.”
She said Ventura Pet Barn and Underwood Family Farms stepped up and sponsored the event.
“They graciously donated some fun pumpkin prizes and some of the fun decor, the hay bales,” she said. “We have a number of restaurant sponsors, people who donated prizes, and we are grateful. It takes a village. Ventura Harbor Village.”
She said it takes a lot of focus not to get caught up in all the dogs…
