Happy Tails Dog Expo

Calling all Dog Lovers! Come out to Poplar Grove Plantation, October 30, from noon to 4PM, for Happy Tails Dog Expo. Bring your furry friends for a full afternoon of fun! Contests, demonstrations, prizes, and a variety of vendors will be there with great products for your favorite pal. Dress up your pup and bring him or her to the Dandiest Dog Costume Contest. The outfits are a hoot! Last year's contestants included a scuba-diving dog and a canine kissing booth. Judges from Pups Play n' Stay are challenged to select the most creative costumes and, award awesome prizes to the winners. If you've ever noticed a personal resemblance to your dog, you won't need a costume to enter the Look-A-like Contest. Move over Dog Whisperer, the Azalea Dog Training Club has the most courteous canines in this area of the country. Throughout the afternoon, beloved tail-waggers from a variety of breeds show-off their good manners and skills performing agility, rally, and traditional obedience demonstrations. Guest speaker Dr. Emma Jane Lackey, of Scotts Hill Animal Hospital will offer some words of advice for pet owners. Admission is $5 per person, furry friends come for free. Proceeds benefit Poplar Grove Plantation and local humane societies.
