This is also a charitable fundraising event! Although admission and parking are free, attendees can support the fundraiser by purchasing food or official K-9 Olympics merchandise, participating in raffles, or making a donation. Proceeds are donated to local charities and organizations selected by the event and its winning K-9 teams.
We will determine a group meeting location and time as the event gets closer. You are welcome to stay for as little or as long as you would like—you do not need to remain for the entire event.
Please note: Outside pets are not permitted, so personal dogs must remain at home.
Come enjoy an entertaining and impressive day while supporting the dedicated K-9 officers and handlers who help keep our communities safe—and some wonderful charitable causes!
