The Walkway Over the Hudson will be the scene Saturday of the Hounds Over the Hudson bridge festival, sponsored by the Dutchess County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and its counterpart across the river, the Ulster County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
It will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The event is free and open to the public with no registration required.
DCSPCA staff and volunteers will be providing information on the care of dogs and giving demonstrations with therapy dogs.
Members of the Humane Law Department will be giving demonstrations on how to prevent stress to dogs in hot weather.
A canine parade of adoptable shelter dogs will begin at 11 a.m. with each shelter meeting in the center of the bridge.
Note: The parade will be canceled if the temperature or weather conditions are unsafe for dogs on the Walkway.
Here are directions to both entrances — Highland to the west and City of Poughkeepsie to the east — to the linear park.

What a fantastic event! Hope it goes well.
I'm not working that day, but I hope we cover it. I may swing by though to see how it's going.
