Calling All Celtic Dogs
Celtic Breeds Parade and Dog Show
Saturday July 16, 2016
at the Maine Celtic Celebration
Show off your Celtic breed at The Maine Celtic Celebration! All dogs (Celtic or otherwise) and their owners are invited to join together at 9:30 for a parade of the grounds led by a kilted piper. The parade will be held in memory of Steve Seekins who has been the master of the Dog Show at the Celtic Celebration. The parade will be followed at 10:00 by a “Meet the Celtic Breeds” dog show on the Steamboat Stage. Dog owners will do a short informal talk about their breed. Talks will include some information on the breed’s history, characteristics, purpose and other interesting facts, along with any human interest stories about a specific dog.
