Magical Forest Opens Gates for Spirited Creatures at Pumpkin Paws Inside Opportunity Village
Pumpkin Paws, now in its third year, aims to scare up some fun for even the furriest members of the family inside Opportunity Village’s Magical Forest.
The event, scheduled for October 19th from 10:00 AM until 2:00 PM, will have professional fur-tography, pet-friendly rides, a variety of pet vendors showcasing their products and services, and a cute and creepy costume contest at 12:00 PM. Admission is FREE for humans and pets alike. Select rides will be open and tickets may be purchased at the gate (6300 W. Oakey Blvd.) or online for a discount.
“Pumpkin Paws gets more and more popular each year,” says Bob Brown, President & CEO of Opportunity Village. “I’m so excited to see the Costume Contest this year – pet owners have been ramping up their creativity with some elaborate costumes the past couple years and it’s always fun to see this excitement at the Magical Forest.”
