Yapsie’s Howl-o-ween Costume Contest & Picnic!

| Filed under Blog Events

Yapsie kicked off our first Howl-o-ween costume contest in Oakland’s Jack London Square this past Sunday and we had a great turnout on a beautiful day.  We enjoyed the company of over a dozen dogs in costume and, while everyone’s a winner with Yapsie, Dixie the iPoodle took home the top prize.  Check out more photos of Dixie and her friends on our Facebook page.

We’d love to thank Abby and Dane of Canine Comforts for donating the big prize basket, a cornucopia of treats and gift bags, and for being a wonderful sponsor and friend of Yapsie.  Drop by for all of your pup’s food, treats, toys, and more!

Sherli, mama to Brillo the hippie love van, donated gifts from Starbucks and our Vietnamese lunch was catered by enjoyed the Vietnamese sandwiches, rolls, and waffles from Cam Huong Cafe.  They’ve got several locations in Oakland so go check them out.

We had so much fun that we’re looking forward to the next event already!  Look for it in December and keep your eyes peeled for the cool new stuff that we’re building too.  Be sure to register at Yapsie.com and like our Facebook page to learn more.  See you next time!
