The Downtown Frederick Partnership sponsors a program called First Saturday. The theme for August was "Dog Days of Summer". A Vintage Volkswagen club was also showing their beetles and busses. Grandson Chris and I went to see the cars and pups and take a few pictures (Photos of the VWs next week).
Registering for the contest
Part of of the celebration was a dog costume contest. Registration was at Two Paws Up, a downtown pet store. The paw prints led the pups to the spots. Winners were to be announced at the amphitheater by the creek at 8:00 PM. (Chris and I opted to leave early and join Marianne and Michael for dinner at home.)

Nicely coiffered poodle
There were lots of watering bowls for the dogs. This one was in front of Two Paws Up. There are plenty of places downtown for the two-legged animals to get food and drink!

Love those dogs - what a great idea, but I'm not sure if the dogs like dressing up.
look at the pups all decked out in their finery. and what a clever idea for the town to sponsor.
the paw prints remind me of the cat paw prints in rome when they have their yearly cat festivities ^..^
enjoyed the photos and commentary.
gas here is 2.30 gallon at kroger today...
I love the water fountain. That looks like fun!
Great post! I think I'd bring my pups too if I lived there.
