Happy Howl-o-ween!

Intro
Each year, the Streeterville Organization of Active Residents (SOAR) hosts its Dog Halloween Party in the MCA’s Anne and John Kern Terrace Garden. The group’s name might ring bells for those who frequent the weekly Farmers’ Market on the MCA’s plaza, organized by SOAR since 2015.
For the Halloween event's 32nd year, dogs of all shapes and sizes were dressed to impress. The event drew celebrities both local and national: the MCA's own Duncan Anderson was in attendance with his dog, Ser Smokey the Goldenheart, and Emmy Rossum of Shameless fame made an appearance to enjoy the four-legged festivities.
