CHANDLER, Ariz. – Dogs are the stars of the show at Chandler’s Woofstock, Saturday, Nov. 18 at Tumbleweed Park.

Dog lovers and their well-mannered, leashed pups are invited to come out and play from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

If you think your dog is best in show, be sure to enter the Puparazzi Photo Contest. Entries will be accepted from through Nov. 1. Finalists’ photos will be displayed at Woofstock, where attendees can vote for the “Pet Lovers Choice” Award. The cutest pup will win a paw-some gift basket valued at $75. The contest is open to residents and non-residents of Chandler.

In addition to the dog-related fun, pets and people alike can enjoy a variety of food and beverages throughout the park. There are no ATMs on site; some vendors may accept credit cards.
