Dog day in the park
Carnegie is having its first Dogapalooza from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday in the Carnegie Dog Park on Forsythe Road.
Your dog does not have to be a Carnegie resident — the party is open to all. There will be homemade dog treats, food and clothing vendors, and collections of pet food and toys for Ellie’s Pet Pantry at the Western Pennsylvania Humane Society. The North Side shelter will be offering low-cost nail trimming and microchipping. A Brownie troop will supervise the doggie water station.
The Dress-Your-Dog-Up Parade, 12:30-1:30 p.m., will have prizes in three categories: superhero, Pittsburgh sports and most patriotic.
From noon to 2:30 p.m., DJ Nik will provide music. The Street Treat Patrol will offer free ice cream, drinks and chips from 2:30 to 4 p.m. The Carnegie Police Department K-9 Patrol is set for 2:30-3 p.m.
The event is coordinated by Cristy Crawshaw, a Carnegie resident and a junior at Carlynton High School who is helping with Dogapalooza as part of her effort to earn a Girl Scouts Gold Award.
