Fair to feature dogs

Tomorrow the Dutchess County Fair opens its gates.

For the ninth year in a row, the canine tent will be a featured attraction.

See my story in today's Poughkeepsie Journal.

All week the Dutchess County Sheriff's Office canine units will be giving demonstrations. The picture above is from the recent Christmas in August school-supply giveaway where the deputies showed how a K-9 officer apprehends someone.

It's always fascinating to watch the officers work.

Also on tap this year at the fair will be a demonstration of border collies herding sheep and a Dock Dogs competition.

I will be on Bob Miller's Morning Mix show Wednesday talking about the canine tent and later that day I'll be going out to the fair to do a live story on the activities.

Hope to see you there.
