The 8th annual My Dog Loves Central Park Country Fair will be held at Central Park’s Rumsey Playfield on Saturday, October 17th, from 11am to 4 pm. I went to this last year, and it was equal parts fun, bizarre, and totally hilarious. The event is hosted by the Central Park Conservancy and Central Park Paws.
So, what actually happens at this country fair? You can compete in the “Best in Park” dog show, practice agility with your dog, have your dog microchipped, watch service dogs at work, listen to authors discuss their work, and more. I’m not going to lie, there is also a ton of free giveaway stuff from fair sponsors (think dog treats, food, etc.), which is pretty awesome.
I highly recommend going if you're around. For more information, go to http://www.centralparkpaws.net/event.php.
