Westmuttster Show Event Announced

By Charelle Burgess

    We interrupt these regularly scheduled Humane Happenings for an animal advertisement event.
   Want to join us for a divine dog show? Looking for fantastic food with our food trucks? Slip into the silent auction and score yourself some special prizes.
   All to help the Humane Society of Lake County.
   Please come join us for our annual WestMUTTster dog show and silent auction event taking place October 26 in Ferran Park (Eustis) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. This amazing affair is free to attend! There will be a little bit of something for everybody: a dog show, silent auction, food trucks, and vendors. WestMUTTster helps us raise much-needed money to continue to care for the animals at the shelter.
   Participants can enter their own dashing doggie in one of the dog show events (a small fee applies). Don't have a perfect pooch to enter? Come adopt! We have plenty! You can register online ahead of time or register one hour before the Noon show. A $10 entry fee will get you into two dapper dog competitions. The canine categories consist of….Best kisser, best wiggly butt, kid's best friend….And more!
   Still waiting for their fur-ever home are Lovely Leo, Radiant Ryan, Splendid Spike, Terrific Teak, and Charming Charles. You can visit the shelter and check them out. Most of them have tricks they treasure too!
