Let’s hear it for the dogs

Do dogs dressed in dirndls and lederhosen interest you? If not, check your pulse. If so, check out Barktoberfest, a day dedicated to man’s best friend and an annual fundraiser for Placer SPCA. The day starts with a 2.5/5k Fun Run, followed by a free festival with food trucks, contests and more. See pups perform tricks and vote for the best costumes worn by dogs and their humans. Tickets will be sold for the biergarten, which will have food and beer tastings. Or for $40, get entry to the run and the biergarten, and all the entertainment of this festival celebrating all the dogs. 1550 Maidu Drive in Roseville, www.placerspca.org/barktoberfest.
