4th Annual Pooches in the Park
Saturday, September 28, 2019
Sit Stay Play

We are back in Braselton Park on Harrison Street! 
Tails will be wagging when Braselton digs in for its 4th Annual Pooches in the Park Saturday, September 28 from 10am to 6pm at Braselton Park on Harrison Street. So, Sit, Stay, & Play with us in Downtown Braselton!
Plan to bring the entire pack (dogs, kids, friends, friend's dogs, friend's kids, dog's friends, etc.)
**Rover on Over Marketplace - Sniff out some fun new accessories for Fido or meet some local pooch service providers such as vets, groomers and boarders. With top notch vendors lined up, we’ll have everything covered from puppy’s head to his toe nails. **See the list of our vendors below

**Howl About Some Contests – Sign up for the pup strut costume contest where contestants parade their well-dressed pooches around the arena. (Extra points if human is in costume too!) We’ll also be looking for the longest lasting kiss, balancing act, best dog trick and funny dog noises. Stop by the pavilion at the park (near the playground) to sign up. No charge to participate, spaces are limited, prizes awarded. Times for events and contests will be posted later.

**Run, Run, Run over to the park for the Lure Course - Here, dogs chase a mechanized, plastic lure around a course, zig-zagging around. It’s fast paced and fun to watch! Give it a try for a small donation benefiting the Humane Society of Jackson County. Hosted by Rotten Dog Sports Lodge and Great Rescue Dogs.

**Smile! And bring your camera – we’ll have some fun photo ops designed just for your pooch.

**Wolf down some good eats - there will be plenty of treats for the pups, but when your human pack gets hungry, our food truck den will tame everyone’s cravings. Located by the tennis courts.
