The 2008 Halloween Party at the run...            Click HERE to go back to WVDOG home page

We had a great turnout -- and some of the most creative costumes ever, many of them made from scratch! This year there were celebrity guest judges, who deliberated intently before rewarding a total of eight prizes. The winners are all pictured below, and their prize category is shown in black type near the picture. 

Congratulations to all participants, and special thanks to our judges, our neighbors the Brass Monkey Bar for the food and drink and Beasty Feast Pet Store for their contribution to the take away bags.

Hopefully the evening inspired everyone to do something even more unique next year...

So until next year...
