Flannel Fest a success, despite rain

The 2nd Annual Flannel Fest was held Saturday at Marmaduke Park in Nevada. The event is sponsored by Nevada Parks and Recreation. With the threat of rain looming overhead, the event still garnered a large crowd in the morning. The Timberworks Lumberjack Show (pictured above) was well-attended. The crowd cheered on the two competing lumberjacks as their skills were put to the test.

A crowd favorite event of Flannel Fest was the DockDogs. DockDogs is a swimming competition for dogs with them being judged on three disciplines — Big Air, Extreme Vertical, and Speed Retrieve. Big Air is a "long jump" for dogs in which the dog jumps off the dock into the water after a throw toy (pictured at left). Speed Retrieve is a timed event and Extreme Vertical is a "high jump" for dogs.
