Fido Does Ferndale took place on Thursday in Downtown Ferndale. The event kicked off with a musical set by local musician Ryan Dillaha, who was happy to hear the doggies singing along. Then Councilperson Dan Martin and Jerome Raska (who has so many titles it’s hard to pick one/owner of Blumz) introduced the event and helped corral the dogs and their leash-holders into formation for the Pooch Parade. As they traveled in a surprisingly well-kept line up 9 Mile, they were able to stop at vendor booths and in stores to get special doggie treats. There was also a costume contest and other fun activities.
Fido Does Ferndale – A Furry Tale Evening was a production of DDA Promotion Committee volunteers, headed by super dog lover Andrea Johns.
