EVENT:  10.27.12 Annual Dog-O-Ween Costume Contest and Parade.
VenicePups.com hosted this year’s Venice Dog-O-Ween on Sat, 10.27.12.  The Dog-O-Ween Costume Contest and Parade has been a community tradition for over 10+ years.  It was first introduced to the neighborhood by Chuck.   This year’s  2012 Dog-O-Ween event brought together the beachside residents of Venice and their four-legged best friends, complete with a red carpet, a costume parade, and amazing prize packages for the best dressed dogs and their families. It turned out to be a truly beautiful day on Ocean Front Walk.  The community came out with their dogs decked out in their best costumes. Venice Paparazzi covered the event and Hungry Dawgs of Dogtown provided wholesome treats for dogs and their human counterparts!
