A famous Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel event, Yappy Howl-O-Ween is the chance for pups to strut their stuff in their favorite costume.  A panel of judges will determine which canine will take home the prize in the costume contest. First place prize in each category is a hand-painted dog bowl by Debby Carman at FauxPaw Productions. Donation to enter the costume contest is $10 per canine per category.
