Easterlin Park in Broward County will host a special treat-ful event this year for your family's special pooch.  Areas will be cordoned off for the doggies and they will be given time to hunt down treats within that area.  Dogs will be separated based on size groups for the hunts.  All doggies will go home a winner!  Prizes for the most treats collected can be won.  Pet Supermarket, the Humane Society and others often attend.  Enjoy a day out at the park and celebrate the season with the entire family.

At Fairchild’s Howl-o-ween guests can take advantage of a great opportunity to enjoy the Garden with their dogs as they parade through Fairchild’s lush surroundings all the while showing off their Halloween costumes.
