A hot day in Beacon for Beacon Barks

Beacon Barks took place today under sunny skies and with record-setting temperatures.

The event was co-sponsored by the Dutchess County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Beacon Barkery.

Here's DCSPCA Executive Director Joyce Garrity:



I will be posting more pictures and videos later in the day or tomorrow, so keep checking back.

Until then here are a few pictures.

People — and their pooches — gathering on the west end of Main Street before the festivities began.

Dogs of all sizes and shapes walked in the parade.

Here's one clever costume.

With temperatures fast approaching 80, Kate took advantage of shade wherever she could find it.

What a great event! Beacon is one hopping city that has gone to the dogs!!

Looking forward to next year's Beacon Barks! Seems to be getting bigger and better every year!

And kudos to Mayor Steve Gold, more cities need a mayor as eager and progressive as he is. Anyone have a date for a 13 year old toothless German Shepherd?
