Gabriola Fall Fair Dog Show

September 17, 2023 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

The Gabriola Fall Fair introduced the first ever Gabriola Lions Dog Show and it was a huge success.

The PHC (People for Healthy Community) and Gabriola Lions hosted at Dog Show at the Gabriola Commons. I’ve never seen so many canines in one spot, and nary a cat in sight. It was a fun afternoon.

The dog show was a resounding success held on Sunday, Sept 17th at the Fall Fair. The show was sponsored by the Gabriola Lions, Lions Foundation of Canada Dog Guides, PHC, and Raven Pet Foods.

After many years without this very fun, family event the laughter and antics left one feeling full of laughter head to toe. Our MC Gerry Stefanson knew how to spin a unique line on each and every dog. We figured 40 dogs rallied one by one in to the ring. All were very polite and their handlers (owners), too!

Spectators numbered anywhere from 40 – 60 coming and going. At the end, the coveted dog bowl trophy was handed out to the very deserving pup.

Our crew: I want to thank Lions Don Butt (photographer), Lions Miriam Cochran and Jude Briscoe (registration), Rob (wrangler), Lion-to-be Lesley Livingston-Gray, Lynn Stefanson (flyer graphics), and especially MC Gerry Stefanson for keeping us in focus, on time, tons of fun for all.
