There’s going to be so much to enjoy all weekend from talks, tutorials, competitions, live music and of course lots of delicious food – I just can’t wait! I’m also super excited about our dog show as I know our community contains some real dog lovers that are looking to show off how amazing their dogs are – plus I hope to see dogs dressed in their very best outfits, ready to win some awards!”
