**Brace yourself – it really is corrupt, but it’s all in good fun with the goal of raising the most money possible for the school. The winners of each of the main categories (ears, bark, trick, etc.) and anyone who wants to buy their way in for $50 will be entered in this final contest of the day. The audience bribes the judges (by throwing lots of money in buckets being passed around) to keep working and decide which dog will be crowned Best-In-Show.
I am aware that I am responsible for my dog, its behavior and any damage or injury it may cause to personal property of others including the city of San Francisco and any bodily injury it may cause to other dogs or people.
Focus on having a good time! This day is for fun…nothing to be taken too seriously. Our hope is that you enjoy the day and know that you are helping McKinley Elementary School.
