Hayes State Park is hosting its second annual "GO-Get Outdoors" Canine Carnival on Saturday, Sept. 12. This event is an opportunity for dog owners to bring their dogs to the park for a day of special dog-related activities.
Scheduled activities will begin at 10:30 a.m., but there also will be many on going activities as well. You may want to take this opportunity to "Go-Get Outdoors" and enjoy an agility course, a cooperation course and an off leash play area. Various vendors will be on hand and there will be a flea dip station.
Scheduled events include Simon Says, a beginner obedience class, musical dog house followed by a search and rescue demonstration. There will be various contests for dogs and their owners including a dress for success race. Dogs can win prizes for the longest tail and shortest tail; pet/owner look alike (no costumes), most unique name and more.
"This event isn't just about dogs and their owners; the games and activities are fun for spectators as well," said event planner and DNR park ranger Pam Bobb. "Not only is this a great opportunity for dog owners to spend a day giving special attention to their four-legged friends, but it's also a great time for dog-lovers to see some beautiful dogs having lots of fun."
