The Bryan County Bark Park will host its sixth annual Howl-O-Ween ghoulish outdoor event from 6-8 p.m. Thursday at Fish Tales Restaurant and Fort McAllister Marina, 3202 Fort McAllister Road in Richmond Hill.

Dress your canine in his or her Halloween best to compete in the costume contest. Judges will award first-, second- and third-place prizes in both the best-dressed small and large dog contests. There will also be two special awards for the judges’ favorite and audience’s favorite dogs.

Fish Tales has always been the generous hosts for this annual event and Megan Myrick of Megan Myrick Photography will once again donate her time and talent to photograph the dressed-up canine guests. An array of Bark Park products and merchandise with the Bryan logo will be available for purchase. 

“We are grateful to Fish Tales and Megan Myrick for supporting us again this year,” said Bark Park President Wendy Bolton. “Howl-o-ween is a great time for everyone, canine and otherwise, and it remains one of our favorite annual fundraisers. It’s hard to resist all of the adorable, festive pups while also bringing the community together to support the Bark Park.”

The contest entry fee costs $10 per person and includes a digital photo taken by Megan Myrick of pets in their Halloween best. The money raised supports the fundraising campaign of the Bryan County Bark Park, which is a registered nonprofit organization. Donations are tax-deductible.

Bryan County Commissioners on Tuesday night deferred a decision on whether to rezone some 3.8 acres near the historic Burnt Church Cemetery to allow a Parker’s Kitchen convenience store. The vote to defer the decision for 30 days to look into concerns raised by opponents to the project came after several residents – including parents of children buried in the 195-year-old cemetery – urged commissioners to deny the rezoning.
