Saratoga Springs Chowderfest Dog Chowdown

For the 4th year now, Saratoga Springs is bringing back its Dog Chowdown  as part of their huge Chowderfest event (now 16th years running) this Saturday, February 1, 2014.  Local dog shops will participate in a friendly competition to see who can whip up the tastiest homemade doggie chowder. The competition is taking place at 1:00  at The Saratoga Downtowner Motel.  Even if you miss the "taste off", the local dog stores will be serving up their doggie chowder to participants throughout the day.  Dawgdom, Impressions of Saratoga, Milton Manor Spa & Resort and Sloppy Kisses are all entering chowder in the competition.  Even better, most of their proceeds will be donated to the Saratoga County Animal Shelter, Rottie Empire Rescue and Glen Highland Farm to help animals in need.   If you're not familiar with Saratoga, take it from me, it's extremely "dog friendly".  There hasn't been a time I have walked the streets of this town and not come across numerous dogs strolling alongside their humans.  Chowderfest is no different.  Both people and dogs alike get out and enjoy the sights, sounds and eats at this "must experience" event.

The doggie Chowder is delish!
PS..You MUST stop by Esperanto's for their famous Dough Boy.  It will change your life!
