Friends of Fair Park Host Sixth-Annual Dog Bowl at Cotton Bowl Stadium

On May 6, head over to the Cotton Bowl at Fair Park for an event made just for man and his best friend, the sixth-annual Dog Bowl.

From 1 to 5 p.m., pooches and people can strut their stuff on the field of the historic Cotton Bowl while participating in several events. 

"What dog lover does not think their dog is a star? Thanks to Dog Bowl, all us Dallas area dog lovers can prove it by watching our four legged pals run, catch and roll in the grass at the Cotton Bowl," said Craig Holcomb, president of Friends of Fair Park. "Each year, we have more and more dogs and more and more people and more and more fun."

Activities will include an animal-only agility course; one-stop fitness and canine obedience classes with Hustle-N-Heel (1:30 and 2:45 p.m.); Dallas DAWG demos featuring jumps, tunnels, A-frame, teeter totters and more (1 and 3:05 p.m.); a pet/owner look-alike contest (4:20 p.m.); plus live music by the seasoned jazz bassist Barri Pearson (1:45 - 2:45 and 3:20 - 4:20 p.m.). Trainers, veterinarians and other canine connoisseurs will share the latest tips and trends in the tail-wagging world. Pet-product vendors will be on site offering apparel, pooch portraits with DFW PhotoButtons ($5), plaster of Paris paw print canine crafts ($5), giveaways, plus information on doggy daycares, groomers and other pet care companies. Luv My Pet will offer special pricing on vaccinations and microchipping.
