Dog Sweater Day

All fashion-conscious pet lovers are invited to ‘unleash’ their fur-pal’s sense of style at an informal meet-up celebrating four-legged wintertime fashion. If Sparky loves to sport a cable knit sweater or has a killer canine overcoat, come show it off! There’s no need to preregister. Just meet up in the Auer Lawn to sniff out some new friends and have a doggone good time. Photos will be taken in the bandshell for the “Cutest Dog Contest.” Winners will be determined by the most ‘likes’ on the Riverfront Fort Wayne Facebook page. NOTE: The event area is not enclosed, so please plan to keep all dogs leashed and pick up after as needed.
