I probably won’t be hitting all the cool parties in the clubs this weekend, but at least there are some fun options for my favorite furballs.
You won’t see me running — or walking — any 5K races today, or in the next 4- 6 weeks until my ankle heals. But I might hobble over to Wash Park tonight at 6 p. m. with my dog Riley, where hundreds of costumed kids, adults, dogs, and cats will be getting ready to run in the Scream Scram 5K run/walk to raise money for the Colorado chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. They’ll also have a 100-meter Spooky Sneak for the kids, and costume contests for adults, kids, and (of course, being Wash Park) for your four-legged costumed canines and scaredy-cats. You can still register today on site for the race, ($27 adults, $19 kids and seniors) near the start at the southeast corner of the park near Downing and Louisiana.
That's only $1 per issue!
Can’t get Fido or Fluffy ready for their costumed debut in time for tonight’s festivities? Get the costumes ready and head to macymacy, a “doggie couture” and pet specialty boutique on 17th between Franklin and Gilpin, for Sunday’s Halloween pet parade and party starting at 3 p.m. Of course, you can plan to arrive early and shop in the boutique itself, where plenty of darling doggie outfits await; owner Macy Matarrazzo has made it her quest in life to “help nude dogs everywhere find a wardrobe.”
