With a pooch parade of costumed canines, Bridgeland is transforming kids’ favorite candy-collecting holiday into a “Howl-O-Ween” celebration, Saturday, Oct. 31.
Howl-O-Ween Fest will start at 10 a.m. in Bridgeland’s Oak Meadow Park, and end at 5 p.m. — just in time for young ghosts and goblins to start their traditional Halloween activities.
Headlining the family-and-Fido event will be the 2009 Space City Disc Dog Championship, a three-day competition that will be held in Bridgeland Friday through Sunday, Oct. 30-Nov. 1. The event is expected to draw high-jumping pets from across the region as they vie for “top-dog” honors in a variety of trick categories.

Wounded war veteran Capt. Daniel Moran, USMC (Ret.), and his family received keys to their new Bridgeland home Monday, Aug. 31, sharing the momentous event with a crowd of well-wishers that included U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, U.S. Congressman Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) and Astros legend Craig Biggio, all on hand to show their support of Moran and HelpingaHero.org.
Builder Perry Homes constructed the Morans’ new home on a homesite donated by Bridgeland, an 11,400-acre development of General Growth Properties in Cypress that was named Master Planned Community of the Year in 2008 by the National Association of Home Builders. This is the seventh of eight homes Perry has built at a substantial discount for the HelpingaHero.org Home Program. Perry will dedicate its eighth HelpingaHero.org home Sept. 14. Houston Rotary District 5890 also has been actively involved in raising money for the project, which was funded by The Strake Foundation, Rex and Marilyn King and the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund.
