From the tiniest chihuahua to the giant mastiff and from the purebred to the mutt, everyone is welcome when Kiwanis of Ramona presents the 10th annual Bow Wow Pow Wow Fun Dog Show at the Ramona Outdoor Community Center Pavilion on Saturday, June 14.

Ten categories include: Best costume (adult’s dog and child’s dog), dog owner look-alike, most beautiful, most handsome, best tail wagger, best kisser, most talented, most unusual markings and cutest little dog. The winners of each category are eligible for best in show. To qualify for best in show, the dog must be entered in three categories.

Admission is $5 for adults and $1 for children 12 and younger. Entry fees are $5 per category or $20 for five categories. All proceeds will benefit Kiwanis Community Services, including scholarships, Rady Children’s Hospital, Student of the Month, Project Lifesaver, Ramona High School Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps, Ramona Emergency Animal Rescue, and youth wrestling and other children’s programs.

“The Kiwanis’ Bow Wow Pow Wow has been increasing in popularity and attendance each year and we expect a larger crowd this year,” said Heather McGhee, marketing chair for Ramona Kiwanis. “Bring your purebreds or mutts and join the fun ... Everyone has a great time.”
