Play Symposium



Yesterday we had our all day Play Symposium.  We had a terrific line up of presenters who gave us the latest in play research and showed great videos.

After that we got to play at the Trade Show!  Our attendees swarmed the exhibitor booths to buy the latest in dog products.

Today we start our breakout sessions and workshops.  Tonight we have "The You Should Be In Pictures" social event which includes homegrown entertainment by the Not Ready for Dog Park Players.
