Woof-O-Ween 2017 is finally here!

- BY DEVON P. APODACA

EL CENTRO — It’s time for another spooktacul­ar night of FUN FUN FUN for the entire family! On Friday, October 13th starting from 7:00 p.m. to midnight, we are expecting the biggest and most extravagan­t Woof-O-Ween we have ever had! As always, the event will be located at Fitness Oasis Health Club & Spa at 504 W. Aten Rd. in Imperial.

Here is a list of some of the super FUN activities we’ll have at the event:

Costume contest ($20 entry fee. Costumes will be judged on Scariest, Best Owner and Pet Duo, Funniest and Most Creative. Winners from each category will be awarded a trophy).

Zombie Walk Contest ($20 entry fee. Best/Most Realistic Zombie Walk will win a trophy).

Cakewalk (baked goods needed). Horse rides and bouncy house for the kids.

Corn Hole Tournament Drawing (raffle) prizes (items and/or services needed).

Games, food and drinks (adult beverages as well).

All activities must be paid for with tickets. All costume contest contestant­s must register to enter contests. Tickets and contest registrati­on will be available at event entrance.

As all of our fundraiser­s are, this occasion is a pet-friendly event.

For the safety of your pet, other pets and our patrons, we kindly ask that if you do bring a pet, please keep these three rules in mind:

All pets are expected to be animal and people/child friendly.

All pets must have properly fitted collars or harnesses on with proper identifica­tion and current contact informatio­n.

All pets are required to be on a leash at all times.

To ensure the successful­ness of the event, we are looking for sponsorshi­ps to cover costs that are associated with setting up and making sure everyone has a great time. Not only are sponsorshi­ps needed, but we are also in need of drawing (raffle) items and/or services. Even putting together some really fun gift baskets with awesome goodies inside are an excellent idea, and they raise a lot of funds for the animals! Lastly, since the Cake Walk happens to be a huge hit each year, we are also in need of some yummy baked goods. Both homemade and boughten are welcomed. If you or someone you know would like to either be a sponsor or donate an item or baked good, please feel free to give us a call at the shelter or shoot us email so we can send you our sponsor form: 760-352-1911 or ivhumaneso­ciety@gmail.com.

All proceeds from this year’s Woof-O-Ween will go towards helping the orphaned pets in our care.

Please share this informatio­n with all your friends and family, and we hope to see you all there!
