Summit Department of Community Programs Announces 2019 PAL Pet Show and Online Contest
The City of Summit Department of Community Programs is announcing its annual Police Athletic League (PAL) Pet Show will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2019 on the Village Green. Registration for the free event begins at 1 p.m. with judging at 1:30 p.m. For the first time this year, the pet show will host an online component prior to the Village Green event.
The competition is organized into two categories: a competition for dogs only and an all-other pet exhibition. In the dog show, small, medium, and large dogs will compete with their owners by walking across the stage in front of the judges. The all-other pet exhibition will include animals such as cats, reptiles and birds on an auxiliary stage. All pets must be kept on leashes or in pet carriers at all times during the event.
Prizes will be provided by the PAL and awarded for each category, and for participation. In the event of rain, the pet show will be held on Sunday, May 19.
Residents can also participate in the online pet show contest by emailing a photo of their pet in any Summit park or location to dguidajr@cityofsummit.org. The Department of Community Programs will post all photos on its Facebook page. The pet photo that receives the most likes by May 18 will win the digital media award.
