The weather is finally cooling off and that means it is time to grab your furry best friend and head to Kemper Outdoor Education Center for the 32nd Annual Dogtober Fest.
This year’s event will feature more than 90 booths, showcasing everything from handmade pet gear and portrait photography to dedicated dog rescues and expert veterinarians.
Dogs can test their skills on the agility course or showcase their high-flying acrobatics in the lively frisbee competition. The excitement continues with a lineup of classic, family-friendly games like Musical Discs and Bobbing for Biscuits. With surprises waiting around every corner, it’s the perfect opportunity to wag, play, and make lasting memories together.
Join the fun Sunday, October 18, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at Kemper Outdoor Education Center, 8201 Jasper Bell Road, Blue Springs, MO 64015.
Admission is free with a donation of dry or canned dog food for our Dog Food Drive to benefit area animal shelters. Some activities require a registration fee.
