Dapper dogs have their days
By TIMES STAFF WRITER
Published August 17, 2006
These truly are the dog days of summer. At the Florida State Fairground, more than 100 American Kennel Club-certified breeds will show Saturday and Sunday. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The fairgrounds are on U.S. 301 off Interstate 4, Tampa (use U.S. 301 entrance). Admission is $3 for adults, $1 for children. Parking is $5. (813) 621-7821. At the Clearwater Threshers game Saturday, dogs are welcome with their owners at Bark at the Ballpark. There will be doggie contests and treats, plus a silent auction that benefits the Humane Society of Pinellas County. (Two areas will be set aside for spectators who don't want to be seated near dogs.) The activities begin at 6 p.m. Saturday; the game against the Sarasota Reds starts at 7:05 at Bright House Networks Field, 601 Old Coachman Road, Clearwater. $3-$8 for humans; $3 per dog. (727) 467-4457.
