Cranberry To Hold Spooktacular Pet Costume Contest

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, PA — Who says only kids should enjoy the fun of donning a costume for Halloween?

Cranberry's Spooktacular Pet Costume contest is seeking the cutest and most frightening outfit donned by our pet pals. Pets of all types and sizes are encouraged to enter.

Cranberry Facebook friends will decide the winner, with the pet gaining the most “likes” being crowned the wearer of Cranberry’s best pet costume. The champion will receive a basket full of treats donated by local pet stores.

To enter:

• Like the Cranberry Facebook page.
• Message via Facebook a photo of your pet dressed in costume by Oct. 18.
• Eligible photos will be posted in the contest pet album on Oct. 21.
• Tell your friends and neighbors to like your pet's photo from Oct. 21-30.

Photos receiving obvious spam votes will be disqualified.

The winner will be announced at noon Thursday, October 31.

Need some help taking a photo of your pet or making your pet look glamorous? The Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber is partnering with the township that can help!

The chamber’s Barktoberfest will be held at the Cranberry Farmers Market at the municipal center from 3 p.m.-7 pm. on Friday Oct. 4.

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