Those looking for assistance in taking a pet photo or making it look glamorous? 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 Cranberry Township Farmers Market at the Municipal Center from 3-7 p.m. on Sept. 30.

Pets in costume will be photographed in the chamber’s photo booth. Those photos will automatically be entered in the Spooktacular contest.

Barktoberfest will feature agility demonstrations led by trainers from myDog Inc. and other pet-friendly events. That’s in addition to the vendors, live music, and food trucks that highlight the Farmers Market each week.
