Calling all dog owners 🎃👻🐕 The FSRP Fall Fest just got a little spookier (and furrier)! When you come to Fall Fest on Saturday, October 14, participate in Howl-o-Ween at 3:30 p.m. Dress your pooch in their cutest or spookiest costume to participate in the Howl-o-Ween Dog Parade and Costume Contest. Human costumes also encouraged!
Stay all afternoon and participate in the rest of the Fall Fest fun!
Party in the Park
Thank you for making Party in the Park such a huge success. It was truly a night to remember, filled with dinner, dancing, drinks, and amazing live music from our neighborhood band, The Panamaniacs.
Thank you to all the neighbors, vendors and sponsors who made this possible, and the biggest thank you of all to the Parks and Rec team who encouraged and supported this plan.
We have received so much positive feedback about the party that we hope it's the first of many. If you would like to help plan the next one, please email us at fsrporg@gmail.com.
