DOGFEST

A festival for dog lovers that celebrates all things canine, will return to the Bonalbo Showground on Saturday, 23 May.

Stars of season three of the ABC’s Muster Dogs series Marlene Brewer and her Border Collie Hudson will be special guests at the event, with the duo taking to the centre ring of the Bonalbo Showground to showcase what a champion working dog can do, and how the pair work together.

Marlene and Hudson will also be on hand to talk with festival goers about her experience on Muster Dogs, why well-trained working dogs should be an integral part of any farm running livestock, and her experiences as a woman in the traditionally male-dominated agricultural sector.

Those attending the event will also be able to chat with a professional dog trainer and have a go, with their dog, at a fun obstacle course.  There also be information stalls, displays, give-aways, a dog show and music.

The event is organised by the Bonalbo SOS Progress Association with the support of Kyogle Council and is free to attend.
