Monday night's Pet Show in Bandstand Park drew only a handful of participants this year. The Venango County Humane Society event had to be cancelled last year and planning for this year had to be on hold until the state began loosening some restrictions in order to make such events safer.
In years past the flurry of furry activity was almost chaotic, but this year it was almost quietly cordial. Barks only permeated the sound of heat waves and chirping birds a few times and only one near scuffle was witnessed near the end when two wet noses got perhaps a little too close.
But for the few that were in attendance, fun was had and ribbons were still proudly worn.
The only thing longer than the ribbons were the pooch's tongues hanging out in the heat.

I love my job!
