Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show’s Annual Pet Show
Do you have a cat? Dog? Or other pet? Can your pet do tricks? Do you have a special costume that your pet wears? If so, bring your pet to the Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show Pet Show, which will be held on Saturday, September 12, at Catoctin High School. Registration for the Pet Show begins at 10:00 a.m. on the front lawn of Catoctin High School, and the Pet Show starts at 10:30 a.m. Entries will be accepted from any person in the Catoctin High School feeder area. Pets must be handled and controlled by their owners and/or crated. Everyone is encouraged to bring your own chairs to sit on during the show.
The judges will select a Grand Champion, which will receive a gift card donated by Dirty Dawg, located at 224 N. Church Street, Unit C2, in Thurmont. The Reserve Champion will receive a gift card donated by Tractor Supply Company, located at 7631 Devilbiss Bridge Road in Frederick. The previous year’s Grand Champions and Reserve Champions are ineligible to enter. An ant is not a pet, and animals are not allowed inside the school—only service animals. Only one entry is allowed in each class, and you may enter as many classes as you wish. The classes are:
Class 1 — Cat with Prettiest Eyes; Class 2 — Cat with Longest Whiskers; Class 3 — Pet with Most Spots; Class 4 — Largest Pet (by height); Class 5 — Dog with Waggiest Tail; Class 6 — Prettiest Dog (25 lbs and under); Class 7 — Prettiest Dog (26 lbs and over); Class 8 — Dog with Prettiest Eyes; Class 9 — Cutest Pet (other than cat or dog); Class 10 — Smallest Pet; Class 11 — Cutest Cat; Class 12 — Best Costumed Pet; Class 13 — Most Unusual Pet; Class 14 — Best Trained Pet
Remember to bring your pet to participate in the annual Pet Show on Saturday morning, September 12, and be a part of the 70th Annual Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show, which is sponsored by the Thurmont Grange, Catoctin FFA Chapter, Catoctin FFA Alumni & Supporters, the Maryland State Grange, and the Maryland Agricultural Fair Board.
