Cherryland Humane Society is handling the parking and Great Lakes Humane Society is doing doggie daycare because dogs are not allowed underneath the tent.
Even the parade at Polka Fest is dog themed with the theme of ‘Dog Days of Summer’ Former Omena Mayor will even be the grand marshal to celebrate the joyous occasion.
