    We are letting the dogs out October 22, 2022, at the American Legion, rain or shine.
    Show registration begins at 9 am to 2 pm with a Halloween costume theme for dogs and handlers.
     
    Our 2022 GRAND MARSHAL will be Laura King along with her poodles; Gracie, Briella and Teddy.    Laura owns Pretty Paws, a full-service dog grooming business at 503 Maryland Avenue, Cambridge. She has operated her grooming, day care and boarding business for nine years.  Laura has a staff of dedicated dog lovers, Michelle, Stephanie and Tyler who are loved by all the clients who don’t want to leave when they are done. Their slogan is, “A Place Your Pets Will Love To Come!” Everyone is in for a treat to see how the pups are groomed and costumed this year. Last year one of the poodles,Teddy, was a black and orange striped tiger. Laura told me some ideas for the dog costumes this year, but you have to come see them and be surprised. It will be amazing.
