SAUGUS — With Halloween right around the corner, Breakheart, in conjunction with Friends of Breakheart Reservation, hosted their 2nd annual pet parade.
The event’s sponsors included Friends of Breakheart Reservation, the Department of Conservation and Recreation Massachusetts, and Peter A. Rossetti Insurance Agency Inc.
The dogs were let loose, walking around in their Sunday Best to try to win the top prize. The costumes ranged from dragons to bumblebees to spooky spiders. To enter, owners had to fill out forms for their dogs and give a $10 donation.
According to Peter Rossetti Jr., chairman of Friends of Breakheart Reservation, the donations will help the group fund more projects and community events around the park.
“What we do is we sponsor activities in the park. Right now, we’re trying to build an education center, which will be a new building. We’re also working on different activities for the future,” Rossetti Jr. said.
Rossetti said the following events will be the Turkey Trot and Santa in December. They’re also looking forward to maple sugaring season in March.
