When Shakespeare had Hamlet portend that “every dog has its day,” who would have guessed that he was casting his gaze forward over 400 years, to Highlands on May 11?

For evidence, witness the Plateau gearing up for the much-anticipated 3rd Annual Highlands Dog Show, set to take place on Saturday, May 11, from 1:00 to 3:00 P.M. at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.

“This event is expected to be a bark-tastic celebration of our furry companions and a perfect lead-in to the Mother’s Day weekend, proudly sponsored by Landmark Realty Group and The Park on Main Hotel,” says Landmark’s Hilary Werre.

The Highlands Dog Show invites all pups and their owners to join in the festivities, promising a delightful afternoon filled with fun, laughter, and canine camaraderie. Admission to the event is free, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for everyone in the community.

The event showcases the dogs in five critical categories:

Best Behaved: Well-mannered canines will showcase their obedience and good behavior.

Happiest Dog: Judges will look for the pup with the most infectious and joyful spirit.

Best Trick: Get ready to be amazed as talented pups demonstrate their impressive tricks.

Looks Like Owner: A playful competition where judges will determine the best resemblance between dogs and their owners.

Best In Show: The ultimate title, awarded to the dog that captures the hearts of both judges and spectators.

“The event is free and open to all members of the community,” says Werre. “Bring your friends, family, and, of course, your beloved four-legged companions for a day of tail-wagging excitement. Whether you’re a participant or a spectator, come and be part of this heartwarming celebration of the bond between humans and their canine companions.”
