Pet Parade Featured Minions, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Super Cute Super Heroes

Glen Cove, NY, October 26, 2015… Over 130 people and their pets unleashed the spirited fun of Halloween at Glen Cove’s 5th Annual Howl’oween Pet Parade.  Sponsored by Glen Cove’s Department of Parks & Recreation, PETCO, Scoopy Doo and Valley Sport & Trophy, the parade and costume contest brought out Glen Cove’s creative best.  There were princesses, bumble bees, jail birds, devils, fire and police dogs, a dragon and even a real rabbit. Each participant was asked to bring a canned food or toy donation to benefit Cove Animal Rescue. “The Howl’oween parade is a pet project of Darcy Belyea and her Parks & Recreation team and each year they do a pet-tacular job,” said Mayor Reggie Spinello.  “This parade gives us permission to expand our City events to include the pets of our community; it’s their day to play dress up,” added Darcy Belyea, Director, Parks & Recreation.
