Thanks for a great dog festival!

Hi all, I hope everyone who came to the dog festival had as much fun as I did! Thank you to everyone who took part. I was so impressed by all the beautiful, well behaved dogs. Another great thing- I walked the field after everyone was gone, and found that everyone had cleaned up after themselves and their pets. Melrose dog owners are the best!

I'll post more information later in the week about how things went. In the meantime, please add a comment to this post with any suggestions you have to make it an even better event next year.
