Paw Fest

Dogs, puppies, countrymen, lend me your ears! The ninth annual Paw Fest is set for today at Stow’s Bow Wow Beach Dog Park. The free event runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and dogs of all sizes are welcome. As the late-summer temperatures begin to turn toward the colder side of things, this is a great opportunity for your pups to mingle with others. Dog contests include: best dog costume in a parade; owner/dog look-alike; best dog trick and longest and shortest dog tails. Parking will be available for $1 or with a donation of used eyeglasses (one of the many eye care projects the Stow-Munroe Falls Lions Club maintains throughout the year).
