For the third year in a row, Green Barn Garden Center (Isanti, MN) and I teamed up to put on a sunflower-themed costume contest for local dogs! We had a great turnout this year with fourteen pups strutting their stuff in various outfits. The winner receives a free mini photo session with me and a sunflower gift basket from Green Barn Garden Center. All participants and their people received free entry into the sunflower field for the evening of the competition, a free sunflower, and free web-resolution digital images of their dog's official photo from the contest.
Costumes were judged based on creativity and staying on theme with sunflowers. Participants were encouraged to be as creative as possible, with the minimum entry being a bandana or similar.
Here are the top five pups as voted on by a panel of outside judges from around the pet industry:
Fifth Place: Manon
Fourth Place: Martha
Third Place: Biscotti
Second Place: Molly
First Place: Moose
Of course, I can't leave out the rest of the pups that dressed up for their shot at the podium. Each one was so cute and deserves their moment in the sunshine. In alphabetical order, we have Bernie, Honey Bee, Juniper, Millie, Minnie Me, Phyllis, Savage, Willow, and Winnie.
Thank you so much to Green Barn Garden Center for partnering with me again this year to put on this fun event! It's a great opportunity for pet parents to get creative and spend some quality time with their pups out in the sunflowers. I hope to see everyone again next August for another incredible competition and more super cute dressed-up pups! 🌻
