Pooches go on parade as dog show gives Burnham club a boost

Dozens of Burnham-On-Sea pooches stepped into the spotlight on Sunday (July 29th) when a popular annual dog show was held in the town.

Crowds of pet owners and spectators attended the event in the town's Manor Gardens, which was held to raise funds for Burnham-On-Sea's Hillview Juvenile Carnival Club.

The event is expected to have pulled in several hundred pounds towards buying the club a new tractor to pull its float around this year's carnival circuit.

Several fair rides were laid on alongside tombolas, face painting, ice creams and majorettes. Even the sun put in a long-overdue appearance!

The club's Tina Marshall told Burnham-On-Sea.com it had been a excellent day: "We had several hundred people throughout the afternoon and were very pleased with the weather, particularly because it was far better than originally forecasted. It beat everyone's expectatons."
