Cranberry Halloween Celebration Not Just For Humans

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Want to win a basket full of treats for your pet? It's as easy as finding the perfect Halloween costume for your dog, cat, or heck, even your iguana.

The township is holding its third Spooktacular Pet Costume contest to find the cutest or most frightening outfit donned by pets of any species, size or shape.

Cranberry’s Facebook friends will decide the winner, with the pet gaining the most “likes” being crowned Cranberry’s Best Pet Costume. The proclaimed champion will receive that basket of treats donated by local pet stores.

To enter:

• "Like" the Cranberry Township, PA Facebook page
• Message the township via Facebook a photo of your pet dressed in costume by October 17.
• Look for your eligible photos posted in the Contest Pet Album on Oct. 18.
• Tell your friends and neighbors to "like" your pet's photo from Oct. 18-28.

The winner will be announced at noon on Oct. 29.

If you want help taking a photo of your pet, the Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber is partnering with the township on a contest that can help. The chamber’s Barktoberfest will be held at the township farmers market at the municipal center on Oct. 1 from 3 p.m.-7 p.m.

Bring your pet in costume and get their photo taken at the chamber’s Barktoberfest photo booth. The pet will automatically be entered in the Spooktacular contest.
