Thanks to a chance meeting with Joanie of Idawg Clothing, I found out that this coming weekend, January 10-11, is Seattle Dog Winterfest, a dog expo that benefits charity.

Seattle Dog Winterfest will be held at the downtown Bell Harbor Convention Center, January 10th and 11th and includes:

* Appearance by Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan
* Performance by American Idol runner-up (and Seattle-ite) Blake Lewis
* “Rescue Fido” fashion show
* “Next Dog Star” talent competition
* Many, many vendors
* Speakers on dog-related topics

I can’t seem to find any information (other than a link to buy tickets) on the official website, www.seattledogwinterfest.com, but Go Skagit has some details. [LINK]

I read somewhere that Seattle has more dogs than children- I certainly do- so it seems that the organizers could have done more, and better, publicity.
