Halloween Dog Event: Trick for Treat Dog Trail Walk and Costume Contest for Dogs
Come and join us for a tongue hanging, tail wagging time at Pfeiffer Nature Center! Bring your 4-legged, furry family members along to enjoy this fun outdoor dog event. The festivities will begin with a “Best in Show” dog costume contest. Escort your dog dressed to the “K-”nines for a short dog walk on the catwalk. ( Note: As human costumes can be intimidating to dogs, we ask that only dogs come dressed for the occasion.) Enter your playful pooch in the “My Dog’s Got Talent” dog trick contest and take your dog for a stroll along the “Trick for Treat” trail that winds through the old growth forest. Costume and contest participation is optional, but participation would be great fun! Just come along and enjoy the fun- even if you don’t have a dog of your own!! This event will be held at: The Lillibridge Preserve, 1974 Lillibridge Road, Portville, NY 14770. Fee: A suggested $2 donation per dog. Pre-registration is greatly appreciated. To register your dog(s), e-mail:
naturalist@pfeiffernaturecenter.org or contact the office at 716-933-0187. All dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. This program will be canceled in the event of rain.
