Yappy Howl-O-Ween Celebration at Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel
10.24.16
Bring your furry friend for tricks and treats in celebration of Yappy Howl-O-Ween on Thursday, October 27 from 4 to 7 p.m. at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. Emmy Award-Winning KTLA Television Reporter Wendy Burch will serve as the evening’s emcee for the costume contest.
The Yappy Hour celebration is a chance for pups to strut their stuff in their favorite costume and lap up water in their favorite flavors – Beastly Bacon, Creepy Chicken, Ghoulish Beef and Frightful Vegan. You can relax with a selection of wines from Mutt Lynch Winery.
During the costume contest, a panel of judges will determine which canine will take home the prize in the costume categories of “Dynamic Duo,” “Most Creative,” “Cute, Cuddly & Silly,” and, of course, “Best in Show.” There is a donation of $10 per canine, per category to enter.
Proceeds from Yappy Howl-O-Ween, including the costume contest entry fee, will benefit the Canine Companions Veterans Initiative which provides an opportunity for veterans to regain their independence through the support of a Canine Companions service animal.

The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel is located at One Ritz-Carlton Drive in Dana Point.
