Downtown Woodstock kicked off its 2019 Friday Night Live season with Fido Fest, a fun evening celebrating the city’s canines and their owners. The event included doggie costume and talent contests.
To capture the fun, we put our roving rover reporter, Teddy the Spaz Man, on the job. When he wasn’t chasing cute little she-dogs, he was meeting folks and helping us get these photos of the festivities.
