Calling all dog lovers, snack enthusiasts, families, and four-legged best friends… this is THE event you don’t want to miss!
Join us for Dogs & Doggies — a fun-filled community event where the best hot dogs & corn dogs, adorable pups, family fun, and a great cause all come together for one unforgettable day. ** FREE ADMISSION **

Grab the leash, round up your furry best friend, and join us for a tail-wagging good time! Dogs & Doggies is a paws-itively joyful community event celebrating dogs, their humans, and the love we share with our four-legged family members. Expect fresh air, happy barks, smiling faces, and plenty of opportunities to play, connect, and make memories.

Whether your pup loves to strut, sniff, socialize, or simply soak up the attention, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Come out, have fun, and help us raise funds to help Johnson County pets and pet owners in need and to celebrate the joy pets bring to our lives—because life is just better with a dog by your side! 

 WHAT'S HAPPENING:

 COME HUNGRY… because one bite won’t be enough!
Enjoy delicious hot dogs, corn dogs, sweet treats, and other local favorites made just for the humans (though your pup might beg for a taste).

 Then cast your vote for the ultimate fan favorite!
As you sample the vendors, keep track of your favorite hot dog or corn dog and vote for the one you love most.

 Votes are just $1 each — and every dollar helps support pets in need.

 At the end of the event, one vendor will earn bragging rights and take home the title of:  TOP DOG: Fan Favorite Frankfurter Champion! 

 DOGGIE COSTUME CONTEST
Dress your pup in their cutest, funniest, or most outrageous outfit for a chance to win awesome prizes and bragging rights.
