From staff reports
Franklin’s Fourth of July Festivities Week is moving into full swing, and Monday’s highlight was the popular pet show at Bandstand Park sponsored by the Venango County Humane Society.
Tails were wagging, and many furry friends were dressed to impress at the show. There were 20-25 four-legged participants that included large and small dogs, cats and other beloved pets.
Pets earned winning ribbons for categories such as best costume, best trick, most unique breed of pet, most unique markings, most matching to their owner (twinning), and youngest and eldest animals.
