The annual (and FREE) Des Moines Pet Festival will happen Saturday, Aug, 2nd, from 9am-3pm at Des Moines Beach Park, with the following activities planned:

• Ice Cream Eating Contest
• Hot Dog Bobbing Contest
• Basic Obedience
• King and Queen
• Best Trick
• Best Costume
• Ugliest Pet
• Owner/Pet Look-Alike
• Agility, Rally & Conformation Training Match
• Much more!

Please keep in mind that the above-mentioned contests are for PETS, not humans, so if you show up dressed as Elvis ready to eat 10 quarts of Rocky Road, you’ll be sad (and so will we, ‘cuz that’d be cool to watch…).

Also keep in mind this disclaimer quote placed at the bottom of the poster:

Any pet that might be a safety hazard to humans or other animals is not allowed, and may be removed from the festival.
