Children in Plymouth, Michigan look forward to this event all year for it is the one time that they get to stand in the spotlight with their pets, be it an iguana, dog, cat or hamster. Annually during the fall festival, the Optimist Club of Plymouth hosts a Pet Show.
Pre-registration is not required. All that is needed is enthusiasm and a pet. While all types of pets are welcome, Optimist member Jim Hutchings says that dogs far outnumber all others. The dogs also have the most award categories including longest ears, longest tail, best dressed and best tricks.
The Plymouth Fall Festival Pet Show is Saturday, September 12, 9:00 a.m. at the Main Stage, downtown Plymouth.
"It's always a great event," promised Hutchings. I bet it is. I hope they send me pictures.
