Pets in the Park
On Saturday, August 18th, the Copake Grange did it again - the 2nd Annual Pets in the Park day was a huge success! The animals of Copake were looking their best and were center stage at the event. Precious pets arrived and were registered in the competition by their owners. Of course, there were dogs (no cats this year) but they were joined by some more exotic friends: bearded dragons, chickens, goats, and cockatoos, to name a few.
The judges of the competition were totally unbiased, as unbiased as a contestant's “parent” can be. “Votes” were bought by participants and onlookers and the animal with the most “votes” (really just little tickets) was the winner. Maybe not an entirely democratic approach but it was a good way of raising money for the Grange and Gina’s Animal Rescue.
Pets in Park ended with its now famous Pet Parade. Proud owners were looking at their beloved, little ones but the pets seemed to be more interested in looking at each other
The Copake Veterinary Hospital holds 50% of the money for Gina’s Animal Rescue, an organization to help abandoned pets and feral cats. The Copake Grange gratefully accepts the other 50%.
