BRIDGELAND’S HOWL-O-WEEN FEST
to
Alfred Paredes transformation
sculptor Alfred Paredes will transform ordinary pumpkins into expressive 3-D works of art using only X-Acto knives and sculpting ribbon tools. Working with pumpkins somewhat larger than the typical grocery store fare, Paredes requires about four hourLearn more and register for the competition at www.splashdogs.com or at the event. A portion of the registration fee will support Howl-O-Ween Fest fundraising efforts.
Other treats include a pooch fashion show and costume contest, a farmers market with pumpkin patch, the high-flying antics of the Houston Canine Frisbee Disc Club, street performers, trick-or-treating for kids and dogs, and dozens of pet vendors. Foundry Church will hold its annual fall event during the fest, with bounce houses, a miniature train, carnival games and more.
Most activities will be free; however a few will fetch a small donation, which will benefit participating animal rescue groups. And while fun will be unleashed throughout the day, dogs will have to remain on their leashes at all times. Plus, pets must be current on all vaccinations, wear a current rabies tag and be on their best behavior — any aggressive pooches will be asked to leave to keep the event enjoyable for everyone.
