I really enjoyed volunteering for this event because it made so many people happy! My task was to man one of the six activity booths. At first, I thought the booths were going to be more dog-based because one of the examples listed was "bobbing for treats". However, the booths were actually for the kids who would be attending the event. Nonetheless, it was still a very fun opportunity that I was excited to be a part of! My booth was connect-four which meant that two people would come up to my booth, play one another, and then the winner would receive tickets. Sometimes, the kids were too young to understand how to play so I would give them instructions in how to do so. If a kid came up without a partner to play, I would play them myself. My favorite part of the experience would have to be playing with the kids and seeing all the adorable dog costumes! Let's just say I'm not surprised that the "dog-tor" won the costume contest! The one thing I would advise for next time would be to be more specific when it comes to the jobs you are being signed up for! Along with telling the volunteers what they are doing sooner. Yesterday, we weren't told what to do until around 2:30ish. Other than that, I think the experience was great and I would love to do it again.

I had a great time at this event! My responsibility was to keep the dogs attention when they were getting their pictures taken at the photo booth (using a squeaky toy and lots of treats) the event was a huge hit in the Moscow area. Knowing this event happens I will be sure to attend next year. It was a great way to get involved and also see/pet some cute pups!

This was a great way to get involved within the community. Being able to serve the families that came to the event was such a joy. All of the kids were so excited to play the games and one little girl even played the games to get prizes for the volunteers. The event was so well organized and fun, that the time went by very fast. It was also a lot of fun to see all of the dogs dressed up. I would definitely work this event again.
