Murphys, CA…The Murphys Mutt March and the Muttminster Dog Show will once again join the list of Community Club events when a bevy of canine companions and their doting owners gather on Saturday, April 27th, at 10:30 a.m. in Murphys Park.

“The Murphys area is home to so many wonderful four-footed-friends and we continue to walk our fury companions through the wonderful Murphys Community so why not continue to have our Mutt March event to join together, have a good time socializing, and strut their stuff,” says Carol Roscelli, the organizer of the Murphys Community Club Mutt March. “If you think your animal would be offended by being called a mutt, you can tell them it is simply a dog walk with a catchy title.”

The popular Murphys Community Park will be the assembly area. From there the participants will make their way down Algiers St. to Six Mile Road with a destination of Ironstone Vineyards. The marchers will enjoy this scenic area when it is at its lushest. At the turnaround, the route will take everyone back to the park for drawings for prizes and participant doggie gift bags donated by our wonderful Spence Ranch Feed & Supply. This year we will bring back the popular Muttminster Dog Show with four categories, “Only a Mother Could Love”, “Best Trick”, “Best Costume” and “Best in Show”. More prizes and coupons are available this year provided by Dogwoods Dog Spa and Lucky Dog Bath Club.

The registration fee is ten dollars per pooch for the walk, which will include bottled water, dog biscuits, doggie waste bags, a raffle ticket and a gift bag for your best friend. There will be bottled water along the way with additional doggie waste bags for your convenience. At the end of the walk will begin the Dog Show ! Participants can pre-register at Spence Ranch Feed & Supply, 1291 Hwy. 49, Angels Camp. You may also register at the event, 10:30 a.m.
