 Lorraine Pino, Manager, Glendale CVB Stated: 
 "The 6th Annual Dog Days of Summer Event was a fantastic day in Downtown Glendale. More than 1,000 attendees enjoyed
 a morning dedicated to dogs including pet wellness, gift items, low cost immunizations and the debut of the Pawskers 
which gave awards to the best pets in several categories.  This annual event showcases the wonderful shops and restaurants
 in Downtown Glendale and providwe needed donations and supplies to the Sun Valley Animal Shelter.  The Glendale Convention
 & Visitors Bureau is thrilled to partner with event chairperson, Linda Moran-Wittley, owner of 'Papa Ed's Ice Cream' and 
Cheryle Corn, owner of 'Everything Leather'. Plans are already underway for the 2016 event!"  Lorraine Pino, Manager, Glendale CVB

Council Member Sherwood  told  us:  “This, the sixth annual event seemed to be a bit busier than years past, even though attracting
 a crowd on a muggy August morning would seem fruitless. I give the Caitlin Court and Downtown merchants much credit in building
 this event up over its short history. Councilmember Aldama and I held two of the 38 record number of booths and talked to a lot of folks
 that visited from outside of Glendale. Some of who we conversed with came from Fountain Hills, Chandler, Phoenix, Peoria, and 
Surprise and not all of them brought their four legged companions, why?, they don’t like the crowds.”
