'Howl-A-Ween' Party, Candy With A Cop Planned

MILLERSVILLE, MD — Goblins, fairies and werewolves may be among the “pets” roaming Anne Arundel County Animal Control during a family-friendly Halloween party from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28, at the shelter. Candy with a Cop will be from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday, also at the shelter, 411 Maxwell Frye Road in Millersville.

The shelter’s “Howl-a-ween Paw-ty” will include a safe trick-or-treat trail throughout the event and an 11:30 a.m. children's costume parade and contest. Live music will be provided by The Big Band Theory of Baltimore, a non-profit jazz band. Throughout the party, there also will be children's games, a canine demonstration and educational exhibits and pets available for adoption from both the shelter and some of its rescue group partners. Parents, be sure to bring your cameras, say organizers in a news release.

The free event is co-sponsored by the Friends of Anne Arundel County Animal Control, a nonprofit created by the shelter’s volunteers to help improve and save the lives of homeless animals.
