From the tiniest Chihuahua to the giant mastiff and from the purebred to the mutt, everyone is welcome when Kiwanis of Ramona presents their annual Bow Wow Pow Wow Fun Dog Show at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center Pavilion.
Ten categories include: Best costume (adult’s dog and child’s dog) dog owner look-alike, most beautiful, most handsome, best tail wagger, best kisser, most talented, most unusual markings and cutest little dog. The winners of each category are eligible for best in show. To qualify for best in show, the dog must be entered in three categories.
In addition to the dog show there are various booths and animal organizations with information and opportunities to give abandoned animals forever homes. Food and beverages are available and there’s a bake sale with opportunities to win prizes from random drawings.
Admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children 12 and younger. Entry fees are $5 per category or $20 for five categories. All proceeds benefit Kiwanis Community Services, including scholarships, Rady Children’s Hospital, Student of the Month, Project Lifesaver, Ramona High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, Ramona Emergency Animal Rescue, and youth wrestling and other children’s programs.
