 Heeter encourages families to watch these amazing dogs from across the world perform and to check out other free activities taking place at the park. If your dog can catch a disc then you can enter the beginner division onsite on Saturday. “There will be adoptions on-site for families looking to bring home a furry friend, plus the Bartow County 4-H Club Pet contest, other pet interactive games, and more activities for the family dog to participate in! Proceeds from all food and drinks sold at the concession stand will be donated to the Etowah Valley Humane Society,” said Heeter. “So come join the fun and watch the fur fly.”
