Photos from the 2006 PAWS Pet Extravaganza!

One of the first activities is the Parade of Rescued Animals

Time for the dogs to strut their stuff to the sounds of "Babes In Toyland"

PAWS dogs enjoy the marching

The bake sale is always a popular spot and stop in the arena

Crafts to buy for yourself or as gifts are part of the event

The Pet Extravaganza provides an opportunity to stock up on PAWS gear and merchandise, including shirts, totebags, and notecards.

It's always fun to visit with the PAWS cats in the Cat Room.

Applications are available to adopt PAWS cats and dogs at the event.

Best dressed contest! Creative costumes galore in this fun event!

Making new friends during the contest is fun

For children at the event, Kids Corner is a popular and always fun place. Crafting and face painting are just their style in this area.

Learn about PAWS programs and pet care at the event. Foster parents are always needed for the dogs and cats and this display told about that program.

Participants in the Doggie Fashion Show wear the top styles for both the tropics and the arctic.

Local author, JoAnne DeFleuri, was on hand to sign copies of her book, "Cliff and I: My Dog's Journey Through Cancer and Beyond.

PAWS dogs are in attendance all day and do their best to attract their forever person.

As the kerchief says: "Adopt me!"

Other rescue organizations have eye catching displays at the event. There's so much to learn about what goes on in our own area by so many dedicated people. This is the Dogs Deserve Better organization's display.
