El Paso, TX (KFOX14/CBS4) — Animal lovers in El Paso will have a chance to spend a Saturday morning with dogs, music, activities and a walk in the park during the El Paso Humane Society’s 37th annual K-9 Classic.
The event is set for April 18 from 9 a.m. to noon and will include about a mile walk around the park. Organizers said people can arrive earlier or later, though they encouraged attendees to stay for the full event.
In addition to the walk, the K-9 Classic will feature raffles throughout the morning, live entertainment from a local DJ, face painting and kids activities brought by Dave and Buster’s. Organizers also said a vendor fair is planned with local vendors and food trucks.
The event is open to anyone looking for a fun day out, including people who do not have a dog. Dogs will also be available for adoption.
Registration is already open, and the first 100 people who sign up will receive a shirt and a tote bag. You can register and find more information about the event here.
The Humane Society also highlighted one of its adoptable dogs, Donna, a cattle dog mix. Staff said they do not have much background on her, but she was found as a stray with her babies. Donna is about 3 years old and is not expected to get any bigger.
