Clear your camera roll and leash up the star of your household. Dueling Dogs Brewing is throwing Howloween on Sunday, October 26, a patio party built for dogs who love attention and humans who love a good pint.
The schedule is simple and perfect. The dog costume contest starts at 2 p.m. so you can arrive, grab a table, and get those last whisker adjustments just right. The dog pie-eating contest follows at 4 p.m., which is exactly enough time to cheer, hydrate, and meet three new best friends in tiny capes.
What to expect
• A patio full of pups in creative looks
• Judges who appreciate both craftsmanship and comedy
• Photo backdrops and lots of candid opportunities
• A relaxed brewery crowd that treats every dog like a local celebrity

Bring a short leash, a small water bowl, and a treat pouch for focus during judging. Costumes should fit comfortably and allow free movement. Check tags and harnesses so everything stays secure during the sprint to the pie dish.
Ideas that always land
• Food puns and snack themes
• Movie sidekicks with matching human handlers
• Sport jerseys with tiny props that do not trip paws
Plan to arrive a little early to snag shade and settle your pup. Order a flight, Trade dog compliments, then line up for the 2 p.m. runway moment. By the time pies appear at 4 p.m., the crowd will know who to watch.
