All the cool characteristics that make canines great companions will be on display at the Glen Ellyn Park District's Poochapalooza event for dogs and their owners. Attendees will enjoy Skydogz performances, an off-leash area, a tennis ball raffle, a kid's craft tent, and pet-related vendors at the Spring Avenue Dog Park.

It's free admission and the first 200 dogs at the gate get a "Very Important Pooch" goody bag! There's a costume contest, too, so dogs can strut their stuff in their finest attire. This event is a must for anyone who owns, fosters, or just loves dogs. Poochapalooza is sponsored by Knoll Animal Hospital, Pet Supplies Plus, and Kriser's Natural Pet.
