This Saturday Bradley will host its third annual Wag-O-Ween, a dog-focused twist on trick-or-treating that runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. — a chance for pet owners to enjoy Halloween-themed stops on Broadway Street while supporting local animal shelters.
Organizers have added a new feature this year and kept fan favorites such as a costume contest and treat stations. The event is designed to be family-friendly and to raise funds for nearby rescue groups, giving participants a practical reason to stop by beyond the festivities.
