Cool Dog Day on the Green festival pics

I wanted to share some photos from the Dog Day on the Green dog fest/event we went to today! I didn't get a lot of photos because I forgot I had my camera in my bag until later in the afternoon, and by then things had slowed down a lot. Eventually there should be photos on the event's website(link) or their Facebook page, but so far they only have the ones from last year.

Some of the vendor/organization booths:



It was a lot of fun, but very hot and sunny. It was right near the lake but unfortunately we did not get the "cooler by the lake" effect I was hoping for... I brought a friend along and her dog Calvin (Bianca's best play pal) and her foster dog Daniel.
We got to meet a lot of people, Bianca made some new friends and I got to talk to a lot of people I knew or had been wanting to talk to from local organizations and vendors. We also hung out for a while at booth for the emergency hospital with the blood donor program Bianca and my cat are in:




They had agility run throughs which was fun, although it was for beginner dogs so Bianca found it too easy. They were sponsored by the agility trainer we go to so we got to see her. I also got to talk to several people from animal assisted therapy groups I've been interested in joining, so I got the info on their upcoming classes/tests. I also found out when the Dog Handling seminar for the organization I've been in the process of joining (with the Ambassador Dog program.) I already did their volunteer orientation and Bianca passed the dog evaluation but I need to do the Dog Handling seminar before we can start working with them.
There was a doggy fashion show put on by a local pet boutique, and some dog contests which we didn't enter (dog/owner lookalike, costume contest and best trick I think.)

Here is Bianca, Calvin and Daniel (Calvin borrowed Bianca's Halti)

Daniel (so cute! Bianca loves to play with him)
