In a season of cackling witches and bubbling cauldrons, Valley Stream’s canines also got in on the Halloween spirit in the cutest way on Oct. 27 at the Valley Stream Dog Park. The 13th annual Howl-O-Ween costume contest, hosted by Friends of the Valley Stream Dog Park, welcomed over a dozen dogs dressed in costumes that inspired awe and gasps alike with some owners dressing up to match.
The local nonprofit pet pantry, Paw It Forward, was also there to collect pet food and supply donations. Founder and president Richard Infield said that the couple hundred bucks raised by the event will be split evenly between a local animal shelter and one affected by Hurricane Helene.
