The location for the K-9 SplashFest on Sunday, August 14, 2016 has now been changed from Clapp Pool to Montelongo Pool.  The event will still run from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.

Sponsored by Parks and Recreation, this popular event allows people and their dogs to swim together in Montelongo Pool. Dogs can compete in four different contests: Swimsuit Competition, Diving Contest, Retrieving Contest, and 25-Yard Timed Race. Prizes will be awarded in each event. Dogs must be up-to-date on their rabies vaccination and have with them a 2016 rabies tag or certificate from a veterinarian. Dogs must be on leash, and aggressive dogs or dogs in heat are not allowed.

Admission fees for participants are $2.50 for adults and $2 for youth 17 or younger. Dogs get in free! Montelongo Pool is located at 3200 Bates Street.
