Dogs can take part in fun Halloween festivities too at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel’s Howl-O-Ween seasonal Yappy Hour celebration on Thursday, Oct. 29 from 4 to 7 p.m.
You can dress up your pup in their favorite costume. A panel of judges will determine which dog will take home the prize in the costume categories of Dynamic Duo, Most Creative, Cute and Cuddly and, of course, Best in Show.
First place prize in each category is a hand-painted dog bowl by Debby Carman of Faux Paws Productions. Cost to enter the costume contest is $10 per canine. Proceeds will benefit the Wounded Veterans Initiative of Canine Companions for Independence.
Yappy Hour is held on the Dana Lawn at The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel.

A Roaring Good Time with Disney’s ‘The Lion King’
10.12.15
By Kelley Moody
A childhood classic comes to life in the form of Disney’s Broadway hit "The Lion King." Seen by over 80 million audience members globally, The Lion King leaps to the Segerstrom stage in its 18th year of performances. This show is designed for children and adults of all ages and will take even the youngest theatergoer to the heartland of the African savannah. You can see a behind the scenes view here.
Dazzling costumes and masks created by Tony Award winner Julie Taymor places elephants, giraffes, and of course the king of the jungle into audience aisle ways and across the stage. With a transformative set, Simba travels throughout the Pride Lands finding adventure and friendship on his journey to confidence and self-acceptance. The show’s technical elements work in tandem with the score to bring the rhythms of Africa into the Western world. Academy Award winning music featuring Elton John and Tim Rice will keep audiences humming the vibrant tunes all the way home.
"The Lion King" boasts the greatest international gross of any film, Broadway show, or entertainment title in box office history. It can currently be seen in ten locations around the world and has been featured in 20 countries.
"The Lion King" will prowl the Segerstrom Hall stage until Sunday, November 1.
Shows will play Tuesday through Saturday in the evenings at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 6:30 p.m. with matinees on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.
Premium Ticket Packages are available for purchase and include prime seating, souvenir program, and a merchandise item. Individual tickets start at $31 online at SCFTA.org, over the phone at 714.556.2787, or in person at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa.
The matinee performance on Saturday, October 17 will be accessible for those in need of audio description, open captioning, and sign-language interpretation. Also be sure to visit the audience engagement photo booth offered by Segerstrom.
