On Saturday, October 27, four members of the club served as judges during the PetCo Howl-o-ween costume contest. Pets of all brands were sashayed down the cat-walk (dog-walk, bunny-walk, etc) to the delight of the crowd.
The Dubuque Phlockers would like to thank judges Nicole McWilliams, Rob McWilliams, Bill Steppan, and a special thank you to parrotkeet Lindsay Nelson along with Ron Markus, Barb Markus, Ladd Nelson, Nancy Nelson and parrotkeet Brandon Nelson for showing their support!

Then, on Sunday, October 28, 16 members of the Dubuque Phlockers gathered to participate for our second year at the annual "Pet-o-ween" costume contest to benefit the Dubuque Regional Humane Society. Eight members of the phlock served as judges for this popular Dubuque event.

The costumes were diverse and very creative. It wasn't difficult to imagine this one singing "Yes, I am a pirate 28.57 doggie-years too late..."

By the time all was said and done, more than 60 pets had walked by the judges panel. Then, the difficult work began. Who should bring home the top prize?
The efforts of the Dubuque Phlockers in conjunction with host and sponsor Theisen's resulted in a record-breaking fund-raising amount for the annual Pet-o-Ween event! An additional (and estimated) $250 worth of needed supplies raised through our recent Phlock Through the Lock party were also contributed to the Dubuque Regional Humane Society.

In the end, this crowd favorite took the top honors. However, the real winner was ultimately the Dubuque Regional Humane Society!
The Dubuque Phlockers would like to thank the staff at Theisen's and KGRR along with judges Chris Sanderfield, Jeff Sanderfield, Kim Maiers, Randy Forsyth, Al Ronek, Nancy Ronek and a special thank you to parrotkeets Quinn Ronek and Max Ronek along with Ann Pickel, Roger Pickel, Ron Markus, Barb Markus, Ladd Nelson, Nancy Nelson, parrotkeets Brandon Nelson and Lindsay Nelson for showing their support!
