ASTORIA — Pirate Play is the theme for this year’s Dog Day Af- ternoon event at Astoria Sunday Market. Events take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the open space ad- jacent to the market off Exchange Street next to the American Legion. The centerpiece of the day is a catwalk for the dogs and their owners as they compete for prizes of best-dressed and oth- er silliness. This year the dogs will “Walk the Plank” instead of the catwalk to compete in a pi- rate-themed event. “We’ve had cats in the fash- ion show, so this is open to any public-friendly pet,” explained Market Director Cyndi Mudge. “We are a dog-friendly market, and we use Dog Day Afternoon as an opportunity to educate about dog-etiquette while cele- brating the diversity of dogs we see here every Sunday.” The Walk the Plank Fashion Show takes place at 2 p.m. You can register on-site starting at 10 a.m. Registrations are $5 per pet with proceeds going to Clat- sop Animal Assistance. Make checks payable to Clatsop Ani- mal Assistance. arriving daily! while supplies last that offer up to $3 off on participating pet foods.
