Hope Watermelon Festival Dog Show….Pooch Parade Big Since 1978!

One of the longest-lived Watermelon Festival events is the annual Dog Show.  The event dates back to approximately 1978 and the show on opening night drew a large crowd of pooches and people.  Dr. Damien Stroderd has served as chairman of the event for many years and did his usual great job in putting the show together.
