adhering to the social distancing rules.
The event attracted lots of media and articles
were posted in several national newspapers

keeping the pageant and different classes in the

Bailey the Pomeranian was dressed
as Willy Wonka.
This Pageant’s theme was to dress up as
characters from Alice In Wonderland, Charlie and
the Chocolate Factory or Willie Wonka.
The event attracted dogs and their owners from
all over the country, and some owners travelled
as far away as Portsmouth to take part in the
event. The overall winner of the Pageant was
The Keeshond dog modelling the most beautiful
Queen of Hearts outfit with owner Lily Blathorn
walking her down the runway.
So far to date, the Furbabies Pageants and Dog
Shows have raised in excess of £500 for different
charities, including Martin House Hospice caring
for children and young people and the Say No to
Dog Meat charity.
June, Phil and Kelly are now busily preparing for
the next Pageant which will be in December with
a Victorian theme, hopefully, if the restrictions
are lifted by then. So watch this space for more
spectacular outfits and more money being raised
for charitable causes.
