Halloween at TQ

Cassie the dog dressed up as a pumpkin for HalloweenIt’s business as usual at the TQ offices this Halloween while we gear up for the Winter issue of the magazine. Granted, editorial assistant Ali Gray’s pooch, Cassie, doesn’t normally dress up as a pumpkin. Her uber-cuteness is proving slightly more distracting than usual!

Whether you have kids, dogs, or just a penchant for partying, there are plenty of spooky festivities to be had tonight. Check out Festivals of Tahoe for more info on Squaw’s Great Pumpkin Festival, a weeklong, family-friendly event ending tonight, and the various “big kid” costume contests at the Bar of America in Truckee and South Shore’s Vex nightclub.

So is Cassie alone in her Halloween humiliation, or do you have pics of your pups dressed for the occasion? If so, send ‘em to webmaster@tahoequarterly.com so we can share them with the rest of the Our Sierra community!
