It's almost time for the Hood River Adopt A Dog's annual fundraiser: Bark in the Park (previously known as the dog walk), Saturday, August 4th.

The highlight of the day is a 1.5 mile dog walk beginning at 9 a.m., at Waterfront Park and looping back to the park for a continental breakfast. Following that, the day is full of "doggie" events including contests, a bbq, huge raffle, beauty treatments like a dog wash and nail clipping station, "ask an expert" table for all those dog questions can be addressed and much more.

And you don't have to have a dog to come... this event is open to everyone!

Contests include: best shedder, costume contest, bobbing for hot dogs, doggy dash and more. Prizes will be awarded.

Best shedder?  How do they judge that one....someone wears black and hugs the pups?

We have a dog festival this weekend at the beach by our house.  Henry our chiweenie is getting very excited!
