Tamworth Regional Council is inviting all dogs great and small to an event bound to send tails wagging this month.
Council launched its annual Gala Day for Dogs event on Thursday to be held at Bicentennial Park on Sunday, October 9.
Hundreds of our four legged furry friends are expected to attend with a dog parade one of the main attractions on the day.
There’s seven categories with the spot for top dog up for grabs including best dressed dog, best owner/dog lookalike and most vocal dog and owner.
Ross Briggs, Council regulatory services manager said the event is a great chance for animal lovers to bring their pets down to the park, and enjoy a fun day out.
“Events throughout the day will include raffles, stalls, live music, a dog agility course and of course, the famous dog parade,” he said.
“Local rescue organisations will be present, with some lovely dogs that are looking for their forever home.
“So whether you already have a dog, or if you are thinking about getting one, we encourage you to come down and speak to some of the experts who are happy to help with dog training tips and advice on the best breed for your lifestyle.”
The Gala Day for Dogs is on from 10am – 1pm.
The parade will begin at 10.15am, with prizes for each category donated by local businesses including Sophie Blue DogTreats, Heaven Can Wait Animal Shelter, Pet Stock and TAFE New England Animal Care.
