Howl-O-Ween: Submit your pet to St. Johns County’s annual costume contest

St. Johns County Parks and Rec is seeking photos of the community’s most paws-itively horrifying pet costumes.

The department’s annual Howl-O-Ween pet dress-up contest is now open for submissions.

The rules are simple: you and your family members can also be in the photo, but your pet must be in a costume.

Photos will be posted for community voting on Monday, October 27, before polls close on October 29.
