9th Annual Spooky Pooch Parade - 2015

[Jim O'Bryan]

Each year for the past 9 years LakewoodAlive has put on an annual parade of dogs dressed up for trick-or-treat as if dogs trick or treat, or ever really get dressed up. No matter everyone has a blast including the dogs. Many of them you can tell act and feel dressed up and special. Who are we to say they are not.

This year we have over 250 photos of the event and parade from 3 photographers.

As always, love the creativity!
Thanks to Alex and Jim for the photos.

One observation:
Unlike previous years, no dog was dressed in a Browns-themed costume this time.
Perhaps the cumulative losing is just too much.

Two questions:

1. Who are the people cooking at the end of Jim's blog?

2. Is Pac Man making a comeback? Or was that costume just retro?

After the Spooky Pooch Parade I went to the other big event in Downtown Lakewood, Rozi's Wine Tasting.


The best place to watch the Spooky Pooch or any parade from.


The two people are world famous chef Jim Perko and his wife Debbie. Jim has a handful of cookbooks out, and I have to say the pasta dish in front of him might be one of the best pasta dishes I have ever had! Always worth checking out.
