Ballard is going to the dogs

Primp, prep and preen your pooch for the first Wuff Da! Dog Day of Ballard.

It all started when Jules posted a simple idea in the MyBallard forum, “After seeing everyone’s adorable pics of their pooches online, I say we have a Cutest Dog in Ballard Contest.” For the last three weeks she has been grooming this event and it’s sure to be a doggone good time. The competition is going to be “ruff” with categories like cutest retriever, funniest trick and best dressed, to name a few. Put your best paw forward this Sunday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Ballard Commons Park. You don’t need to pre-register, just show up for the free event. Jules has lined up a great list of sponsors who are providing a bunch of cool prizes. More information can be found here.
