The Great Manitoba Dog Party was today …

The Manitoba Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) hosted the 12th annual Great Manitoba Dog Party today at Assiniboine Park, between Noon and 5pm .. here in Winnipeg. Last years party hosted over 20,000 people, the largest single day event turnout at The Forks. We were there last year, and I think it was a better turn out this year! This was a free event to the public and offers a breed display, dog contests & prizes, dog sports, photo contest, tradeshow, and blah blah blah - but, most importantly .. it allows us to bring our dogs into one great park and be able to mingle with many other dog owners.
