Howl-O-Ween Fundraiser: Hundreds of Dogs Parade in Costumes for a Cause

Grand Junction recently hosted its beloved annual Howl-O-Ween fundraiser, drawing hundreds of dogs and their owners for a day of festive, furry fun. Organized by Roice-Hurst Humane Society and the Grand Junction Sports Commission, this event brought the community together to support animals in need.

The day kicked off with a 5K Fun Run and a spirited Dog Walk. Owners and their pups showed off creative costumes, turning the park into a parade of superheroes, pumpkins, and spooky creatures. A lively costume contest crowned the most imaginative duos, while activities and vendor booths kept tails wagging all morning. All proceeds from the event help Roice-Hurst continue their mission of caring for local animals, making Howl-O-Ween both a celebration and a cause worth barking about.
