Dogs will get their day at KeizerFEST on Saturday, May 17, with an annual contest and also a parade.
The “Crown the Hound” dog show will be at 2 p.m. at Keizer Rapids Park.
The event, sponsored by VCA Animal Hospitals and Friends of Felines, is free to enter.
Dogs and even owners will vie for prizes in several categories:
• Best Small Pet
• Best Large Pet
• Most Unusual
• Most Colorful
• Best Dressed Duo
• Best Pet of Show
• Breed Spotlight
Dogs must be leashed, and owners should come prepared to clean up after their hounds.
Pets also will get a spotlight in the Bloomin’ Iris KeizerFEST Children’s and Pet Parade on May 17.
People should have their pets on a leash and bring along waste bags.
Participants will meet in the Rite Aid parking lot at 10 a.m., and the parade will begin at 10:20 a.m. The route travels Lockhaven and River Roads to Chemawa Road.
