Knaresborough pet show to return today
A Knaresborough pet show is set to return this May bank holiday.
Knaresborough Pet Day, which takes place in the grounds of Knaresborough House, is a chance for local owners to show off their four-legged friends for the day.
The event, which was set up more than 30 years ago, will include dog shows, an obedience demonstration and a 'sausage retrieval' session.
Organiser Val Rodgers told the Stray Ferret the pet day has since become popular with animal charities.
She said the dog shows will be judged by representatives of Dogs Trust, while the Blue Cross, Tia Greyhound Rescue, Hearing Dogs for Deaf People and Harrogate Cat Rescue will all have stalls to raise money for their organisations.
Ms Rodgers added there will be refreshments on offer in Knaresborough House, which will be provided by Miss Mollies Dog Rescue. She said:
The pet show will be broken down into different categories, including best rescue, prettiest bitch, most handsome dog and dog fancy dress.
There will also be food stalls and a tombola.
The event is free to attend and will open at 10.30am. Dog show entries cost £1 per class.
Knaresborough Pet Day will take place today (May 6).
