Dear Chief Cook,

It’s time to start thinking about the 1st Annual Hutto Rotary Club Barbecue Cook-Off presented at Triple Crown Dog Academy’s Pet Fest! Dates for Barbeque Cook-Off Friday, April 9th and Saturday, April 10th.

The Rotary Club of Hutto is involved in the local and international community, promoting leadership, and fostering access to higher education. The Rotary Club of Hutto has teamed up with Triple Crown Dog Academy to raise funds for scholarships and other local events throughout the year that we can participate in. All funds raised for this event will be going back into the community!

PetFest History
Triple Crown’s PetFest & Expo has grown from a simple afternoon festival to a two-day community backed event for families to come and celebrate all the joys of pet ownership. Triple Crown hosted its first Canine Carnival for the public in July of 2005. Over 2,500 people attended. It was such a success that plans were immediately begun for the inaugural PetFest & Expo. In addition to being the title sponsor of Pet-a-palooza for 2003, 2004 & 2005, Triple Crown hosts public dog events and shows of all kinds weekly. Dog athletes of all breeds compete in exciting agility and sporting tournaments or hunting dog tests. Breed shows feature some of your favorite breeds (and some you've never heard of). The event center is a 15,000 square foot indoor climate-controlled facility, situated on 360 acres with ponds, fields, tracking and herding areas, and an adjacent lighted 180-foot by 360-foot sports field. In addition to the 200+ climate controlled indoor outdoor kennels, Triple Crown also boast one of the nation’s premier School for Professional Dog Trainers and staff of Canine Training and Behavior Specialist for all canine training needs. Proceeds will benefit many animal shelters & K9 Rescue organizations across Central Texas.

PetFest Attendees
It’s difficult to gauge the impact the attention this free admission two-day festival will have on the community. Approximately 2,000 attendees attended the last PetFest & Expo. This year the Rotary Club of Hutto will be co-hosting their annual Bar-B-Que cook off and Friday evening we kick the festivities off with a family friendly evening with “Movies in the Bark Park.”
