Play soccer with the Soccer Collies
This is not just a show that will captivate the imagination of young soccer players . . . it’s a real competition.  Human vs. canine go head to toe, paw to hand in an all-out battle of speed and agility unlike anything you’ve ever seen. TheSoccer Collies do all the running while the human competitor tries to stop these very determined, highly skilled soccer playing canine athletes from scoring a goal.  Find out how easy it is to train a soccer dog of your own and get information on rescuing one of the many fabulous soccer dogs looking for a great home.  Come out ready to have some fun as we choose boys and girls and moms and dads to play goal keeper as we learn all about this new exciting sport.

Extreme Canines Stunt Dog Show ™

America’s most talented dogs are coming to the Fair!  These canines once rescued from shelters now WOW visitors nationwide with their stunts, tricks, and athletic ability.  The show is always “Fur-Flying Family Fun ™” and they’ll be offering new tricks and stunts during their 2008 season tour.  They’ve starred in commercials, appeared on TV, been featured in magazines, and now they are here live and in “pawson.”  You’ll see the nation’s best Frisbee-catching dogs as they race nose to nose in the famous “Extreme Canines Triathlon” which is fast, furious and a little bit furry.  They’ll even break records in the popular pooch Olympic high jump challenge.  Did we mention the one-of-a-kind tricks and big air stunts? What’s more, several lucky audience members will be transformed into dogs and will perform with one of the Extreme Canines during the show.  So get your bark on and join us for a doggone good time.
