Mansfield dog show returns to raise money for charity close to organiser’s heart
A charity dog show returns to Mansfield this summer – raising money for Dementia UK.
The annual dog show will be held at Racecourse Park, Mansfield, between 11am and 4pm on Saturday, August 20.
The event will include a range of stalls, with pet nutrition advice offered on-site.
Tombola and raffle prizes are up for grabs too.
Last year’s dog show raised £500 for prostate cancer.
Paul Savage, event organiser, said: "We have 15 fun classes ranging from best treat catcher, doggy fancy dress, cutest puppy, small and petite, and big and beautiful.
“I have had dogs for over 40 years and I also run a pet food business.
“A couple of years ago I thought that as fun dog shows are becoming more popular, why not stage one.
”All proceeds go to charity.
“It is a fun way to raise money. The dogs seem to really enjoy it.
”I have lost two relatives to cancer and dementia. The charities are close to my heart.”
