  Laura Locke, owner of Locke Countryside Kennell and Lori Janko Wilkie from

  State Farm, are joining forces October 24th for a Halloween pet parade.

  The event will include activities such as a costume contest with prizes

  given to the top three, food, caricature drawings, and more. The event

  will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. At Loch Countryside Kennel,
• 0:42
  located at 3266 E First Road in Peru. There is no cost
• 0:47
  to attend and The
• 0:48
  food and candy are free. The idea for this event came from
• 0:51
  A conversation between Locke and Wilkie. Wilkie held a pet parade last
• 0:56
  year at her facility in downtown Peru. This year they decided to
• 0:59
  partner, therefore bringing both of their clientele together and having the event
• 1:04
  at the kennel on foot rather than in cars as last year's
• 1:07
  was. Them parade is open to the public, but dogs must be
• 1:11
  on leashes. A costume contest will award first, second, and third prizes
• 1:16
  for best dog outfit. First place will win a free weekend at
• 1:19
  Loch Countryside Kennel, three nights, four days, valued at 108. Second
• 1:26
  prize will win a basket of all natural peanut butter dog treats
• 1:29
  from a vendor who sells them at the kennel and who will
• 1:32
  also be selling them at the event, Third Prize wins a free
• 1:36
  grooming certificate donated by Mardog's Grooming Room in Princeton. Beyond the parade
• 1:41
  there will also be a photographer for pictures, costume characters and food.
• 1:45
  Hivey is donating hot dogs and buns. Locke said she's prepared bowlfuls
• 1:50
  of candy, pre made snack bags for children, apples and caramel, and
• 1:54
  a popcorn maker. Walls 102, a country station in Oglesby will live
• 1:59
  stream the event, which Locke said the relationship developed over years after
• 2:04
  Danny at the station became a loyal customer. Two female business owners
• 2:09
  can come together and do something fun, Locke said, and there's no
• 2:12
  cost for anyone to come out here or for the food or
• 2:15
  candy or any of that.
