Ideas for "Canine Carnival"????

(1/2) > >>

seaherons:
Cirra's Dog Scout Troop will be co-sponsoring the "Canine Carnival" this year with the local kennel club.  It is an annual event for Responsible Dog Ownership Day in September.  I am looking for ideas - especially successful ways to promote the event and different activties and/or booths to have on that day.  Any suggestions??? 

Thanks!!!

Icerotti:
For activities you could have the pooper scooper challenge. Have some pooper scoopers and herseys kisses in a roped off area. Whoever gathers the most"poop" in 15 sec wins..lol Then give out a roll of poop bags as a prize or a nice thing that attaches to your leash with poop bags. Then you could raffle off the pooper scoopers.

seaherons:
Great ideas folks, keep 'em comin'!

canine kissing booth where the dog is the kisser

cake walk or musical chairs with dog-related music like "who let the dogs out", "how much is that doggie in the window", etc.

get a cheap kiddie pool and some different colored tennis balls. fill the pool with water and throw in the tennis balls, let the dog pick a ball out of the water (like bobbing for balls or the duck pond game at carnivals). You'd have different prizes based on what color ball the dog picked up.

get a few plastic sand pails. Line them up and hide a treat under them. If the dog picks the right pail, he gets a prize.

have a "stupid pet tricks" contest.

set up a mini agility course

DAMAGE:
Would one of your local vets do a 'special price' micro-chipping for the event?
  In the musical chairs game replace the chairs with paper plates and the folks have to get their dogs to sit on the plate!
  Have a 'dress your dog' race. Gather up a bunch of varying sizes of old socks, shirts and party hats, boxer shorts too if you're really evil. Do a  fairly close match up of the contestants and clothes and put piles of the outfits at the far end of the course. At the signal, contestants run to the clothes, dress their dog and then run back. First one back with all their clothes on wins. Here is a picture of Raemi's sister, when they were puppies, at a picnic where we played this game.
  If you have a local radio station, why not see if they will put in a 'plug' for you, too? Sounds like you will have a really great time. Have fun! Take and post lots of pix!!
