Michelle Mann OZARK —Costumed contestants and their two-legged escorts stage-walked in front of three judges at the new Farmers Market here Thursday evening but the real winner of the 12th Annual Claybank Howl-o-ween Pet Parade and Costume Contest is the Ozark-Dale County Humane Society.

For instance, McManus said, Recyclop’s owners Diane and Todd Coughlin donate the aluminum cans collected during their recyclable materials pickups to the ODCHS, who uses crushed cans as a fundraiser.
A highlight of Thursday’s parade was the reveal of the 2024 ODCHS Pet Photo Calendar, a fundraiser for the shelter. All pet owners are encouraged to submit pet photos. Votes are measured in contribution dollars so the top fundraisers are featured on each month. The top fundraiser is featured on the cover of the calendar and this year’s cover girl is Grace, whose photo was submitted by Morris and Carol Lattimore.
