New fall event at The Grove
The Village of Bourbonnais invites residents and their furry friends to join in the Halloween spirit during the first-ever Howl-O-ween Pet Parade & Photo Costume Contest on Saturday, October 25th at 10:00 a.m. at The Grove, located at 700 Main St. NW.
Pets and their proud owners are encouraged to show off their best costumes and creativity as they parade around the Village Green Circle. Spectators are welcome to attend and enjoy the festive fun.
In addition to the parade, the Howl-O-ween Photo Costume Contest offers pet parents an opportunity to share their pets’ spook-tacular looks online. To enter, participants can visit villageofbourbonnais.com and submit their pet’s photo by Friday, October 17th, at 4 p.m.
Residents can then cast their votes by “liking” or “loving” their favorite furry friend photo on the village’s Facebook page through Friday, October 24th, at 4 p.m. Winners will be announced at the conclusion of the parade, and do not need to be present to win. Prizes will be awarded for top entries.
“Summer may be over, but there’s plenty of festive fun for fall at The Grove,” said Mayor Jeff Keast. “That includes for our four-legged friends. Looking forward to seeing everyone for the first Howl-O-ween!”
