With Dog-O-Ween one week away, it's not too early to prepare your canine's costume and sign up for the annual holiday event hosted at the Genesee off-leash area on Saturday, October 23.
Dog-O-Ween serves as the major fundraiser for the Citizens for Off-Leash Parks (COLA), the volunteer, 501(c)(3) organization that finances the promoting, maintaining and creating of off-leash areas in the city of Seattle.
Touted as the "Seattle's premiere doggy costume contest," Dog-O-Ween allows people to go wacko in embarrassing their canines for a good cause (as did a United Kingdom resident did with his tolerant green bulldog). With major budget deficits in the City of Seattle coffers and threats of program slashing, one could reason that off-leash parks aren't high on the priority list of municipal pols. Our financial support of COLA helps keep open local off-leash parks.
In addition to the celebrity-judged costume contest, Dog-O-Ween features food, fashion, raffles, and vendor booths.
Register your dog now while vacancies remain. Last year, Dog-O-Ween organizers closed off entries at 1 pm on the day of the event.
Dog-O-Ween takes place from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday, October 23 at the Genesee Park Off-Leash Area. If it's your first trip, welcome to the Lovely Rainier Valley.
