Pet owners are invited to register their four-legged family members for a dog-friendly event.<\/p>\n

The Sanibel Recreation Center will host the Howl-O-Ween Costume Parade on Oct. 25 from noon to 1 p.m. Free and open to the community, it will feature the parade and activities for man\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n

\u201cPets and Sanibel go hand in hand,\u201d Recreation Department Marketing & Events Coordinator Denise Dillon said. \u201cWe are such a pet-focused community, what better than to get our furry friends and dress them up for Halloween.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added that non-participants and non-pet owners are encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you do not have a pet registered for the parade, you can come on out in your costume and participate with crowd support as the parade goes by,\u201d Dillon said.<\/p>\n

Pets and owners will line up and parade around The Sanibel School\u2019s pavilion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re going to have seven categories for prize winning,\u201d she said. \u201cFrom the most creative for DIY costume to the best dynamic duo, so that is pet owner and pet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following Spooktacular Prizes will be awarded:<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Phantom of the Pawpera for Best in Show<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Creature Feature for Scariest Costume<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Howlarious Hound for Funniest Costume<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Dynamic Duo Award for Best Owner and Pet Duo<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Pack of Peril for Best Group Costume<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Crafty Creature for Most Creative\/DIY<\/p>\n

\u2013 The Tiny Terror Title for Smallest Scare<\/p>\n

There will be a Trick Or Treat Trail for the four-legged attendees.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of the pets will be rewarded for their costumes by trick-or-treating and receiving some treats throughout the event,\u201d Dillon said.<\/p>\n

Also, there will be a Fur-ight Foto Boo-th available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will have an opportunity for pets and their owners to take photos in front of a nice fall-themed display,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

All pets must be licensed on Sanibel or in Lee County and be wearing their tag at the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe just want to make sure all of our pets are up-to-date on their rabies vaccinations,\u201d Dillon said.<\/p>\n

Pet owners can register their furry monsters at https:\/\/secure.rec1.com\/FL\/sanibel-fl\/catalog<\/a>, by scanning the event QR code or by stopping by the center to pick up an application.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s free to register,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The community is encouraged to come and take part.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe parade is going to be a fun and lighthearted way to bring the community together,\u201d Dillon said. \u201cEveryone can participate, whether as a pet owner or spectator.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m hoping to grow the event moving forward,\u201d she added. \u201cAnd hoping to continue to do more activities for our furry friends in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
