Dogtoberfest will be Saturday, October 16, 2010 between 10 am and 3 pm at the Dakota Memorial Off-Leash Area within Pacific Community Park. Dogs of all shapes and sizes (and their owners) are welcome to join in this fun event! Admission is FREE, but a pet food donation to AniMeals would be greatly appreciated.

There will tons of fun for you and your four-legged best friend: Lure Coursing, Costume Contest, Dog Olympics and Police K-9 Demonstration (for those dogs who are thinking of a career change ). There will also be free nail trimming (for the dogs!), discounted micro-chipping and vaccinations, vendor booths, raffles and prizes.

Are you interested in being a vendor, volunteer or donor? There will be a Dogtoberfest Planning Meeting on September 29, 7-9 pm, at Clark Public Utilities (1200 Fort Vancouver Way), or visit DOGPAW online,
