Subject: DC/Annapolis/Balto Area July '03 Dog Events

There's a move afoot to start up an All-Breed carting and driving club in the MD/DC/VA/WV/DE area with the intention of meeting once a month or so to work with the dogs. If you think you'd be interested let me know.

As usual, there's not much happening in July that's strictly dog related. However, many of the local parks have concert series that you can take your dog to and both of you can enjoy the music and a picnic. Lake Accotink, VA and Quiet Waters Park, MD are just two of the sites that welcome (or at least tolerate) your canine friend; check out your nearby parks.


Tu 7/1 7pm, FREDERICK, MD: You and your dog can see the Frederick Keys play the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, minor league baseball. Special canine events/demos, check it out at http://www.frederickkeys.com/ .

Th 7/3-Sun 7/6, 7am-6pm, WEST FRIENDSHIP, MD: Howard County Fairgrounds is the site for the Independence Cluster, four AKC all breed and obedience dog shows on one site starting Th through Sun, many vendors. Huge. . Be aware that water is hard to find at these things for some reason. Bring your own, or a collapsible bowl and fill up in the restrooms. http://www.infodog.com/panels/md.htm .

Fr 7/4 930am- 12N, BALTIMORE, MD: Visionary Pets on Parade • Dress your pet and strut your stuff. Registration at 9:30am. Animal fun!

Hosted by the American Visionary Arts Museum (AVAM) http://avam.org/cgi-bin/Events.cgi in Federal Hill, this place is Weird Central of Baltimore. You'll see things here (ie grass growing on a pink car) you'll never see anywhere else. Bouffant hairdos, feather boas and rhinestone encrusted stretch pants will abound and the female contingent will be even more colorful. A multitude of events go on all day and if you can last that long, it's a fine place to view the fireworks at the Inner Harbor.

Sat 7/5 630pm, ANNAPOLIS, MD: Your whole family, including pooch, can watch the disc catching dogs of Skyhoundz fly through the air after frisbees. Who knows, you might even want to enter yourself and Fido in this low key and friendly event where fun for your dog is the numbe 1 priority.
