Hello Philly fam, how goes it!? I hope y’all have been buried in the season’s activities as much as I have, and I’m SO ready to break out the first costume this weekend. I’m not gonna give it away, but it’s something about space and something about clowns. I’ll somehow be taking photos while wearing a mask, but hey, this is not my first Halloween costumed rodeo. See you at Ruba?

And on to even more seasonal fun…less than a month away, it’s the National Dog Show! It’s a benched show, which means you get to meet the pups and get up close with each breed throughout the day. Watch them strut their stuff on the blue carpet and compete for top honors at one of America’s oldest and most prestigious dog shows! Trust me, you wanna be there for the pup action. Enter to win a 4-pack of tickets and bring the whole crew!*
