[September 24, 2013]  On Saturday, dog owners gathered at Kickapoo Creek Park for the second annual Woofstock. All of the proceeds gained at the event will be used to support the Humane Society of Logan County.

In the midst of the event were contests for the canines in attendance. There were contests to select the tallest and shortest dogs, owner look-alike, cutest dog, and best trick. Prizes were given to the winners of each event. Andi Hake and Mike Geriets were the judges for the competitions.

Winners of this year's events were:

  • Biggest dog: Ace 
    A Great Dane belonging to Brad Whiteman

  • Smallest dog: Johnny
    A Chihuahua owned by Paula Taylor

  • Cutest dog: Diesel
    A blue pit bull owned by Michelle Morrow

  • Best trick: Ace
    Owned by Brad Whiteman

  • Owner look-alike: Tinky and owner Mary O'Hara

The dogs were not the only competitors at the park on Saturday. Children participated in push-up, hula hoop and dog-treat toss competitions during the course of the day.
