WSSF goes to the doggie

Organizers of Whistler’s TELUS World Ski & Snowboard Festival are gearing up for DogFest, a two-day celebration of Whistler’s love affair with dogs, on April 24-25.

Dogfest will be a part of the second weekend festivities during the WSSF and guests are invited to join in with the exhibitions and demonstrations where two and four-legged friends compete together.

The highlight of DogFest is the Dog Parade on April 24, where up to 200 canines of all imaginable breeds, and their equally diverse owners, take over the streets of Whistler in an afternoon stroll in support of Whistler Animals Galore (WAG).

Now in its seventh year, the Dog Parade invites everyone to participate in the stroll through Whistler Village in support of a good cause.

A dynamic display of canine skills and ability as well as a showcase of speciality dog products follows the Dog Parade in Skier Plaza.

For more information on this year’s Dog Fest, visit www.whistler2004.com or just head to Whistler Village on April 24-25 to get involved.
