Does your furry forever friend have what it takes to be named best in show? Find out this summer at the inaugural CEPA Puppy Pageant!

On August 5 at 2 p.m. at the Pell City Center for Education and Performing Arts (CEPA), the Puppy Pageant will feature 20 of the County’s finest canines in competition for pet-centric prizes and the prestigious title of St. Clair County’s Perfect Pup. And it’s all for a good cause. Proceeds from the event support the Pell City Animal Control Center and its adoption and spay and neuter programs. 

CONTESTANTS WILL COMPETE IN THREE AREAS

Puppy Parade – Mutt-strut for the judges
