The event begins at 7pm Friday, Nov. 30. To register, send an email to Davidsonpaws@yahoo.com with the following information: Name of dog, Owner, Davidson tag number or other city dog tag number. Be sure to include your pet’s special talents or planned show attire. Though talent is optional, dogs should be prepared to answer questions about world peace and global warming.
All dogs must be on a leash and in full control of their handlers. There will be a $5 registration fee and door prizes for all entrants along with a prize drawing. All proceeds will benefit the Preserve Dog Park in Davidson.
The very first Doggie Fashion Show was held in 1988 in front of the Davidson Post Office. See our coverage of the 2011 event, “Doggies wear their finest at Christmas in Davidson.”
