Haberman Fabrics’ Michigan Humane Society
Benefit Halloween Dog Costume Contest
On October 26, 2002 a dozen fun-loving, animal-loving contestants entered our Halloween Dog Costume Contest, each making a donation to the Michigan Humane Society, and parading their delightfully disguised dogs around the new Haberman Fabrics store, in costumes they created for them. Also, each contestant received a photograph of their disguised “best friend” to hang in a place of honor.
For the month of November, family and friends, and the world at large, voted for their favorite, most creative, funny or fabulous costume. Our thanks to the wonderful contestants in their adorable costumes, to their families, and to all of you who voted in the contest. Through your generous participation, $764.00 was donated to the Michigan Humane Society to support their fine efforts assisting our “best friends”.
And the winners are…
