Paws in the Park
Smiles were everywhere at the first-ever Furry Friends Festival, hosted by Byron Shire Council at the Bangalow Showgrounds on June 15. Four-legged friends were pampered with nail clipping, vet advice, and dog trainer talks as well as free treats and a sausage sizzle hosted by the Bangalow Lions. The festival celebrated our beloved pets while promoting the Dogs in Public Places Strategy.
