Fun dog show features for the first time at the Huntingdon campus community day

A fun dog show, nail bar, glittery tattoos and games for all the family, are among a host of activities in a community fun day at the Huntingdon campus of Cambridge Regional College.

 Most of the children’s activities are free of charge, while others will ask for a small donation to Magpas air ambulance charity.

The community fun day is on Saturday June 15 from 10.30am to 2.30pm at Cambridge Regional College Huntingdon campus.

It is the first time the event has hosted a fun dog show. Categories include waggiest tail, golden oldie, bad hair day, most appealing eyes, best trick, best junior handler, best rescue and dog and owner most alike.

Wood Green Animal Charity are guests of honour and will be attending with their mobile unit, offering pet advice and adoption opportunities. Volunteers will also be bringing the centre’s dog cool off station with water and dog paddling pools.

Students are offering nail art and hair plaiting and there will also be a stall of colourful glitter tattoos.

Games include a hula hoop challenge, pit stop challenge, hook a tile, catapult target challenge, kiddie zone and soft play with sensory soft play, sand pit, slide, ball pit and tiny cars.

Art students are holding an exhibition of their work and Healthwatch Cambridgeshire volunteers will be on hand with a health quiz and advice.

Our special educational needs students are hosting a plant sale with plenty of hanging baskets and containers to choose from.

There will be a tombola and a range of stall holders including sweets and refreshments from Café 2 U.

For the dog show, register from 10.30am. The fun starts at 11am. The judge is Jo Pearson, community champion for Tesco Huntingdon, who are supporting the event by providing prizes for the tombola.

There will also be a display indoors and a chance to talk to staff about the wide range of courses available at the college from September 2019.
