7th Annual Gadsby's Tavern Dog Contest
In the 18th century dogs were highly valuable
companions. Helpful in hunting and guarding, they were even
frequently traded as a form of currency. For the seventh year Gadsby's
Tavern Museum Society will honor another tavern tradition and celebrate our
four-legged friends. Your prized pup could win you several great prizes and go
on to represent Gadsby’s Tavern Museum Society for 2014-2015 in Alexandria
events like the Scottish Christmas Walk and the George Washington Birthday
Parade. The $35 entry fee also pays for a one-year family
membership in GTMS. No special talents required. All participating
dogs should be good with people and crowds, able to play with others,
well-groomed and well-mannered. More information and registration is
available on the Gadsby’s Tavern website www.gadsbystavernmuseum.us.
Watchers welcome when we start the judging at 2:00 on Market
Square. Registration for trot-ins start at 1:30. Come enjoy some canine camaraderie and help uphold another
Alexandria tradition! Free to watch.
