Ruff!

Our wonder lab is marking her calendar. From CA:

The Columbia Association (CA) will host its second annual Dog Day Afternoon on Saturday, April 12, from 1 to 4 p.m. at Lake Elkhorn in Columbia. CA invites dog lovers and their four-legged friends to an afternoon stroll around Lake Elkhorn, where they will find doggy treats, activities and lots of tail-wagging fun.

Entertainment includes a DJ, face painting, a caricature artist and a craft area for kids. This free event will feature local businesses and organizations that focus on the health, happiness and well-being of our beloved furry friends. Some activities will include a pet costume contest and fashion show, raffles and contests.

Confirmed vendors for this year’s event include bark!, Barkbusters, Camp Bow Wow, Canine Companions for Independence, Club Pooch, Dogs & Company, Dogtopia, Invisible Fence of Maryland and the Coventry School.

Dog Day Afternoon is part of the Columbia Association’s Welcome Initiative to help new and current residents learn more about Columbia’s history and vision and encourage them to become involved in their community.
