Calling all dog owners: The 7th Annual Parading Paws Dog Show will be held Saturday, July 30 at the Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme as part of the Midsummer Festival.
Sponsored by Vista Life Innovations, Parading Paws is anything but a stuffy dog show. Instead, every four-legged contestant walks away a winner. Prizes are awarded based on each dog’s most distinguished characteristics, such as Best Smile, Biggest Paws, and Longest Tail. Special prizes are awarded for Best Trick and Best Costume.
This year’s event will also feature agility and scent demonstrations led by Kara Staroski, owner of Groomingtails Pet Spa in the Guilford, and her four Beauceron dogs.
