CANINES TO PUT THEIR BEST PAW FORWARD AT
CORKY’S INTERNATIONAL HAUTE COUTURE FASHION SHOW
What’s a well dressed dog supposed to wear? Well, if your closest canine “supermodel” is planning to attend the Fourth Annual Long Island Family Festival on Saturday, September 17 and Sunday, September 18 at 12 noon at Copiague’s Tanner Park, then the outfit should take on an international flair, because one of the festival’s special events is “Corky’s International Haute Couture Fashion Show.” Corky Nightingale, the show’s creator who happens to be a West Highland White Terrier, has put a “bark out” to all her international canine friends and their owners to “Paws for Style” and select an international canine couture outfit which will bring canine fashion to a new standard of prestige and style.
Canines from all over the world are invited to parade in Prada, sparkle in Swaroski and walk in the park as they wag their tails on the “Catwalk” to the delight of dog lovers and the “pupparazzi.” French Poodles just might be wearing berets while Scottish Terriers could be sporting their kilts, daushunds might wear their lederhosen and English Bull Dogs might tip their derby’s at you. Whatever international breed your four legged fashionista is, he or she will have a howling good time.
In addition to “Corky’s International Haute Couture Fashion Show,” the festival will feature an exhilarating carnival, entertainment at the Seaside Musical Shell Stage which will feature something to satisfy all musical and dance tastes, pirate show, plenty of food, Oceanview Craft and Gift Show, “Tanner Jam” Skateboard Competition and Demo, a premier skateboarding demonstration and competition which provides a chance for skaters of all skill levels to see professional talent and numerous other exciting activities including Game Crazy’s Gaming Tent.
