LOVELAND – April 19, 2010, The fifth annual Paws on the Promenade dog expo invites local builders and craftsmen to think small to help out in a big way. Custom-built dog houses will be auctioned off will all proceeds being donated to the Larimer Humane Society and the Humane Society of Weld County.

Local builders and craftsmen are invited to build dog houses that can be simple or elaborate and can be any size just as dogs come in all sizes. In the past we have had a doggie duplex, a front porch and even a solar powered dog house. The possibilities are endless.

In exchange for donating a custom-built dog house, all builders will be given space to display the dog house and promote their business to attendees. Paws on the Promenade takes place on Saturday, May 22, 2010 from 10am to 4pm. The event is held outdoors at the Main Plaza of The Promenade Shops and dogs are encouraged to attend.

Paws on the Promenade is a signature event that features vendors, demonstrations, contests for dogs, silent auction for custom-built dog houses, yappy hour and more! Vendor applications can be found at www.thepromenadeshopsatcenterra.com under Summer Events or contact Tiffany Villavicencio at 970-461-1285, centerramkt@gmail.com.
