The 2018 Doggy Day Out will be held on Saturday, April 28 from 10am-2pm at the Omokoroa Western Ave Sportsground, having been postponed due to the weather last weekend.

This is the fourth annual Doggy Day Out event – a day dedicated to the dogs that always draws the crowds.

The theme is 'DOGGYWOOD', so dress your pooch up as a famous star to enter the Star of the Day competition.

Entertainment will include a variety of events, demonstrations and fun for the kids.

Western Bay of Plenty District Council's Adopt a Dog team will be on the grounds with the latest dogs for adoption having their day out to meet the public.

The day will include:

• Performances from the Tauranga and Mt Maunganui agility clubs • Market stalls and food • Competitions (Star of the Day best dressed dog) • Bouncy castles and other activities for the kids • A dog-only swimming pool • A photo booth to capture that perfect pic with your K9 friend • Dog groomers on site to pamper your pooch • Microchipping and dog registration services.

The council welcomes anyone who may like to set up a stall for the day.

For all enquiries regarding setting up a stall on the day, please contact Carolyn Berben phone 571-8008 or email [email protected]
