Dog Days Downtown

Hey Everyone!

Here's a press release from Main Street Rogers about this weekend's Dog Days Downtown. This is at least the third year for this event, which brings out vendors and speakers at Frisco Park in downtown Rogers. We'll have a booth there with a "Guess How Many Treats" game, so stop by and say hello!

Dogs Day Downtown

ROGERS—Bring your dog to Frisco Park, May 9th, 9am-1pm, for Dogs Day Downtown. Main Street Rogers invites you and the furry one in your family to the Historic District for a Saturday morning special event.

Local businesses will have a variety of booths and activity stations set up throughout the Park for your pet’s sheer pooch pleasure. Find fun games and discover new resources for raising your family canine. Activity stations may include such things as a Cake-Walk, Hop-a-Hoop, Dunkin’ for Bones, and more! Even if you don’t have a dog to bring, children and dog-lovers of all ages will enjoy the demonstrations and helpful speaker sessions on Frisco Stage. If your family is looking for a new addition, Rogers Animal Services, the Humane Society and NWA Animal Rescue will also have pets available for adoption. Also, rabies and/or yearly shots and microchipping will be offered for your convenience.
