The weather didn’t cooperate with this year’s CSBarks dog festival, but that didn’t stop hundreds of dogs from attending the festival and enjoying sheep herding demos, Dog Olympics games, disc dog demos and much more! Thank you to everyone who visited, and all of the vendors, sponsors and volunteers who help us create CSBarks. Photos from the festival are now up on our facebook page at www.facebook.com/csbarksdogfestival

CSBarks was featured on ABC 7′s Windy City Live on Thursday September 15 as part of a pet-special episode. Host Val Warner interviewed Kelly Carbon about the event, before having a go at dog agility with her dog Kobe. Watch the video clip at www.windycitylive.com

Don’t forget to make a groomers appointment before visiting CSBarks this year. Your pups will need a good hair day for our latest festival additions. For $10, professional pet photographers, Purr Photography, will be offering on-site pet portraits of your pooch, and also for $10, artist Deb Donnelly will be offering live caricatures of your dog – or you and your dog! These activities are cash only and first come first served. Visit the activities page for more details.
