Dog Days of Summer
Sunday, June 26
If you’ve got animals with talent, dogs that can bark out a hit, or a cat that can … well, be adorable or attack a ball of string with gusto, then bring them to the Barking With the Stars animal talent show and a silent auction. Proceeds from the event go to help the Park City Friends of Animals nonprofit animal-rescue shelter. Enjoy live music and tasty fare at Heber’s Sidetrack Cafe, while celebrity judges Simon Howl and Sharon Ozbarker hand out prizes to the most talented pets.
