Give your Dog its Day on Sept 14 at CSBarks Dog Festival
“Every dog has their day!” Tails will be a-waggin’ and noses a-sniffin’ at one of the largest dog festivals in the Chicagoland area, voted No. 7 in the US by Animal Planet. CSBarks Dog Festival is Sunday, September 14, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.
Attractions for 2014 include Skydogz performances, Ultimate Air Dogs dock diving competition, Weiner dog races, parade of breeds, dog Olympics, dog party games, demonstrations, dozens of dog vendors in the Fido Shopping Mall, an off-leash area and the Rover Rest Area for tired pups.
Kelly Carbon, Community Relations Manager at the Carol Stream Park District said, “The CSBarks Dog Festival is a tribute to our 4-legged friends and celebrates the relationship of pet owners and their loyal companions. The festival is a great way to get pet owners out to the Town Center with their dogs. We will give the dogs a day just for them . . . Dock Diving, Contests, Shopping, Agility, Performances, and Lots of Treats! All well socialized dogs and owners welcome!”
