Children are welcome to show off their Halloween costumes to enter the raffle. For a good fur-raising time, pets are also invited to show off their best “Howl-O-Ween” (following Plummer Park rules to always stay on a leash). Attendees are encouraged to drive or walk, as parking at Plummer Park is limited.
