Pooch Plunge

Have a dog that acts more like a fish? This event is for our four-legged friends but fun for the whole family! Even if your dog does not enjoy swimming, there is room for them to run around the grassy area and pool deck and have a great time socializing.

There are several competitions occurring throughout the day to include:

• Dog ice cream eating competition
• Best dog trick
• Best dog costume.

You'll definitely want to bring your camera along for this event to capture some great moments! Just check out the pictures from Pooch Plunge 2016 (Flickr).
