The 2nd annual Dog Carnival returns to South Lake Tahoe on Aug. 17 from 10am to 4pm.
The nonprofit Dawgs on the Run puts on the event to promote the fun and benefits of having dogs in our lives. It’s a full day for dogs and their humans to enjoy games, contests, raffles, food, prizes and informative demonstrations.
All leashed dogs are invited.
Dog games and contests during the day include:
• Play Dead Time Contest
• Peanut Butter Lick Contest
• Agility Contest
• Strut Your Mutt Runway Costume Contest
• Groom Off Makeover
• Tail Wagging Trick Contest
• I have The Music In Me Musical Chairs
• Dawgy Karaoke Contest
• Barnyard Bingo
• Bobbing For Tennis Balls.
There will be special presentations by Tammy Cowen of K9 Bliss Dog Behavior & Training, a Paw Reader, Jacki Wright Mobile Dog & Cat Grooming will be on hand with demonstrations and grooming tips, and a Big Bite Biscuit Bake Off with local chefs. Pet rescue groups will be on hand for adoptions as well as the South Lake Tahoe Humane Society.
Who’s the Tahoe Dog Contest is back. Dog owners can post their dog’s photo and short essay on why they deserve the honor on the Dawg’s on the Run. The winner will be announced during the carnival.
Ski Run Boulevard will be closed at Larch Avenue.
What a great sounding event! Hope it’s incredibly successful.
Wish my human could take me this year, but we’ll be out of town.
2 paws up for organizing such a fun event.
Hope you get a big turnout!
I noticed that the group has listed that all “leashed” dogs are invited. I think it might be a good idea to hold a workhop on what that means, along with how to pick up dog poop classes and how to have dog owners be good neighbors by teaching their dogs to not be aggressive or mean at the fence and how to let people walk down the street without being barked at.
@Nature bats last – We get it, you don’t like people with dogs. You don’t like your alleged pot growing neighbor’s dog. Why don’t you try calling animal control or the police since the situation is so dire in your neighborhood. I’m sick and tired of hearing you b*tch and moan about it on these comment sections all the time.
Ridiculousness, I suppose that you think your opinions mean more than mine or anyone elses, if you dont want to read my opinions than dont. Quite frankly im just hopeing that the jerks that im refering to will read the messages and get it, but im not holding my breath. I have as much “right” to post what i think is appropriate as you do so get over yourself
