Cute Animal Event Alert: Saturday in J.J. Byrne Park

If you like dogs and/or cats, this one's for you: There will be a "Dog Parade and Kitty Carnival" with pet adoption opportunities in J.J. Byrne Park in Park Slope on Saturday (9/29) from Noon-6PM. The event is sponsored by State Sen. Eric Adams and will include clowns, magicians, live music, food and prizes for best costumes (for the pets, we assume, not the people). It's billed as:

A fun-filled day of felinie festivities and canine cavorting! Festival-goers will enjoy rows of sponsor and vendor booths, live music, a Kid's Zone featuring face painters, characters, clowns and magicians, food and much much more.

Dog training demonstrations throughout the day.

Proceeds to benefit the Brooklyn Animal Foster Network, a network of more than 500 homes, and New Hope Partner of the Animal Care & Control of NYC.

The dog picture here is actually from last year's BARC Parade in Williamsburg, but in any case, GL loves a good dog parade.
