The Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show’s 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’s Pet Show, which will be held on Saturday, September 6. Prior to the Pet Show, there will be a presentation by Wags for Hope, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Registration for the Pet Show begins at 10:00 a.m. on the front lawn of Catoctin High School. 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, 224 N. Church Street, Unit C2, Thurmont.
