Poker Run
BRING YOUR HUMAN ON A "DOG WALK" STYLE POKER RUN. You and your human will walk a pre-set course, stopping at sponsor checkpoints to receive a playing card. At the end of the walk, each player selects their top cards and the best poker paws win prizes you'll wag your tail over!
Dog Show
COSTUME YOUR POOCH AND JOIN THE SHOW. The pet parade will give you a chance to show everyone how special you and your human are.
Two of a Kind - This class is to showcase dog/owner matching or complimentary costumes. The dog and human with the most creative costume combo will take the day.
Full House - This class is for families who have more than one dog. Entries will be judged as a group, with the most interesting collection of dog costumes being awarded the crown.
The Joker - This class will showcase costumes that incorporate a trick or talent. We will recognize the top three in this class, but all entrants will receive a goody bag to reward them for their effort.
Queen of Hearts - This class is for the girls. We will select the Diva for the day.
King of Spades - This class is for the boys. We will select the Big Dog for the day.
Entry fees: $5 to enter as many classes as you would like. Any dog can enter. Register here.
Grab your human by the leash and head on over to Lake Carolina for a day of dog gone good fun. The proceeds benefit PAALS
PAALS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization committed to enriching and empowering children and adults with physical disabilities and social needs by training service animals and providing animal assisted educational and recreational activities.
PAALS trains animals to assist people with varying abilities to live more independent and enriched lives by providing them with assistance dogs. Some of our specially trained canines are taught to turn lights on and off, tug open doors, pick up dropped items and alert for help to assist individuals in wheelchairs. Other dogs go on to assist children with autism and soldiers with PTSD to accomplish therapeutic and real life goals. These dogs are primarily placed in and around South Carolina.
