DOG DAZE AT VILLAGE GREEN


August 16-18, 2019

DOG DAZE II @ Village Green presented by TDS Telecom will be a 3 Day Festival of fun, food, shopping and competition! SHOP FARRAGUT and Town of Farragut have teamed up with Smoky Mountain Dock Dogs & Ricki’s Pet Depot to bring a nationally sanctioned regional canine aquatics competition of DOCK DOGS INTERNATIONAL. The festivities will take place in the Village Green Shopping Center parking lot, just south of Stein Mart and the new Planet Fitness, Friday August 16 through Sunday the 18th. 

The festivities will start on Friday evening with a local dog “Pooch Plunge!” Local dog owners will have the opportunity to have their ‘puppy’ try a Dock-Dive! K9 Pet Services of East Tennessee has underwritten The Plunge activity which will allow non-competitors to try the DockDog experience free of charge. Between 4 and 7pm, members of the Smoky Mountain DockDogs Club will assist area pet lovers with their introduction to the sport. If anyone is interested in entering their dog in the actual competition, (all breeds accepted), they can email: dd_admin@dockdogs.com, call the office at 330-241-4975 or go online at https://dockdogs.com/eventscal/dog-daze-at-village-green/#.

Actual competitions will commence on Saturday at 11am.

Between qualifying rounds, spectators can shop the Village Green shopping center, visit the many merchant booths on-site, mingle with pet food suppliers, plus get food & drink at the beer garden while visiting many pet related vendor booths, local merchant showcases and displays. 

THE ENTIRE WEEKEND IS FREE!

The final rounds of competition and award presentations will take place late Sunday afternoon.
