WALK-A-THON CANINE CONTESTS

Once again this year, four canine contests are planned, to take place after the Walk on Sunday, May 6^th 2012. The DJ will announce the gathering of the contestants when most walkers appear to have returned from the walk.

Estimated time: 10:30am (Weather may require a change of this time.)

Location of Contest:

The contest will be held at the Music Station at Fifth Avenue Station upon completion of the Walk-A-Thon. The DJ will make an announcement when the contests are about to begin.

This year’s contests are:

1. "The All-American Male" – When you seen him strutting down the street, there’s no question he is 100% pure beefcake!  All the girl-dogs in the neighborhood and at the dog park are crazy about this smooth-barking hunk!  (Contest is open ONLY to canines.)


2. "Talk of the Town" – You know this girl-dog! Is she your four-legged companion? The "Talk of the Town" catches the attention of all other dogs and humans she encounters.  "Isn’t she cute?"   "Isn’t she just adorable?"  "What a personable little thing?"   She’s the perfect package of gorgeous looks and a sparkling personality. You, as her human-companion hear this all the time…and are so glad she is yours!


3. "Best Dog-Owner Look-Alikes" – Has anyone ever told you that your dog is perfect for you? You both have that certain look about you. A pair of “bulldogs” or or two curly-haired "poodle-girls?" Could we match up the two of you in a crowded dog park?  If so, this contest is definitely for you!


4. "A Most Unlikely Pair" – You know the look. The muscle man walking his five-pound yorkie decked out with pink hairbows. Or the svelt sophisticated socialite with her bulldog named Steve. Has anyone ever told you, "I would never have thought you would have a dog like that!"  If so, join us and hear what our judges think!
