Gone to the Dogs: A Canine Carnival
Saturday, May 16th, 2009, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Free admission! All are welcome!
Gone to the Dogs is still on despite the wet weather. The carnival has moved inside the SGU Field House (on campus, near the museum).
The Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art is hosting Gone to the Dogs: A Canine Carnival to coincide with the temporary exhibit, Speak: Children's Book Illustrators Brag About their Dogs.
During the carnival, participants will have the unique opportunity to view this canine-centered art exhibit with their furry best friends-the pooch parade will circle through the interior of the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art! Awards will be given for: best costume; pooch-n-parent look-a-like; so-ugly-I'm-cute; perfect prancer; doggie diva; attention hound; and best float (wagon, stroller, etc.).
At the carnival, there will be plenty of fun activities for those party animals, including: hot-dog bobbing, paw painting, obstacle courses, canine caricatures, and pooch portraits. To interest the savvy pet parent, demonstrators and exhibitors will be on hand to address canine health, training, and products.
