About the event
Every dog thinks they're best in show. On Saturday 29 August, one of them gets to prove it.
We're marking International Dog Day with a day built entirely around Kingston's four-legged locals — and their very patient humans.
Dog photo competition — $200 gift bag
Our photo wall comes with a backdrop and a basket of costumes and props. Help yourself, dress your dog up, take your shot, then pop everything back in the basket for the next pup. Email your photo to info@springfarmvillage.com.au by Monday 31 August. We'll shortlist five favourites and put them to a public Facebook vote from 1–3 September, with the winner announced Friday 4 September.
Free pet portraits — 10am to 1pm
Local artist Jidah will paint free watercolour portraits of you and your dog, live on the day.
