The Malverne Chamber of Commerce held its annual Thanksgiving morning puppy trot. Joined by their furry friends, members of the Malverne community came together to begin the holiday season with a festive stroll.
Attendees gathered at Gazebo Park at 9:30 a.m. on Thanksgiving before leading their dogs on a walk through the village. Chamber Champ, the chamber of commerce’s canine mascot led the stroll, stopping at chamber businesses along the way.
At Connolly Station, participants enjoyed a free mimosa or orange juice sponsored by Newman Realty. And outside the Malverne Cinema, the walk concluded with a raffle for a gift basket from Assisi Veterinary Hospital and the dogs were given treats.
Participants and their dogs were invited to dress in holiday costumes for the event.
