Dog Days returns

in News
Megan Paulsonby Megan Paulson

BIG SKY – For dogs, Big Sky is heaven on Earth. And Camp Big Sky, the area’s oldest summer camp, is hosting a fundraiser celebrating this with a festival for the entire family.

“Dog Days is a way to get everyone, including the dogs who usually have to stay home, out for a fun day at the Community Park,” said Camp Big Sky director Katie Coleman.

The day includes a two-mile fun run for humans and canines, doggie dock diving, a parade (costumes encouraged), and an exhibition of your favorite stupid (and smart) pet tricks. In addition, there will be obedience, grooming, and working dog demonstrations; vendors of dog goods and services; dog collar cameras for rent; multiple dog treats and toys; and for human companions, root beer floats. A professional photographer will be on hand to shoot and print pet and owner photographs on site.

All events will have prizes; those who choose not to enter any can still browse, watch and socialize.

The event’s title sponsor is Pretty Paws, Big Sky’s new pet grooming salon. All proceeds go to support Camp Big Sky programming. For more information, contact Katie Coleman at camp@bsccmt.org, or just show up with your pooch and your family.
