It's time once again for the event all of Columbia's dogs have been waiting for: Dog Day Afternoon! It will take place at Hopewell Park on Saturday, April 27, from 11am to 2pm. (Rain date is Sunday, April 28, same time, same place.)

This annual FREE event--now in its 7th year--is sponsored by the Columbia Association (CA). Dog lovers can enjoy music, raffles and seminars/demonstrations while meeting local businesses and organizations focused on the health, happiness and well-being of our dogs. There's plenty of doggy-fun planned, including contests, off-leash play and treats, lots of treats.

To register, go the the Dog Day Afternoon registration page on EventBrite.

The CA will also be collecting items at this event for donating to the Thankful Paws Pet Food Bank. They are accepting the following:

  • Canned cat and dog food
  • Dry dog and cat food
  • Soft treats and biscuit type treats
  • New dog and cat toys
  • We really like Kong type indestructible toys
  • Blankets and towels
  • Buckle or martingale type collars
  • Leashes
  • Gift cards from pet stores so we can buy emergency food and supplies as needed
