Did you know that Lake Arrowhead has a Dog Festival?! There is even an “Owner Look Alike” contest and a Splash Dogs contest! The event starts at 8:00AM, admission is free but of course donations are welcome! There is also pet adoptions going on and much much more. See you there!
Splash Dogs is well known for their dog jumping events. You can visit their website here: http://www.splashdogs.com/

Three Dog Bakery(TM) and The Lake Arrowhead Village Merchants Association proudly present the 2nd Annual Lake Arrowhead Dog Festival! This event will feature an exciting array of dog sports demonstrations, a police K-9 demonstration, the “Owner-Look-Alike” contest for attendees, vendor booths, and, of course, last year’s big hit, the Splash Dogs(TM) jumping competition–and more!
The goal of the event is to educate the public and promote healthy, happy pet ownership and activities, thereby lowering the need for relinquishment and euthanasia of animals because of behavioral problems.
Included in our goal to spread awareness is to raise funds for rescue organizations. This year’s funds will go to The Little Red Dog and the German Shepherd Rescue of Orange County.
Admission is free; however, monetary donations, as well as gently-used pet care items (including collars, leashes, carriers, and unopened pet food) will be accepted at the gate.
The Lake Arrowhead Village, as you know, is enjoyed as a community of dog lovers–merchants and patrons alike. And the fantastic success of last year’s 1st annual festival is a testament to that with visitors from all over Southern California and even the country. We are expecting to attract increased numbers this year.
We are grateful for your support, which helped make our first year such a success. There are many ways for you to be involved in making this year even better!
We are looking forward to another fun-filled, tail-wagging day!

This years Lake a Arrowhead Brewfest breaks tickets sale for the fifth year in a row with over 1000 attendees. It is obvious that next year they are going to need a bigger tent.
As a volunteer for this event and a strong supporter, it was so exciting to see so many familiar and unfamiliar faces. As I walked around with my camera for 7 hours, it was easy to get everyone to smile!
There is no surprise why everyone was smiling… BEER! There is something so great about bringing together 1000 plus people to enjoy the south lands greatest Craft Breweries and Home Brewers.
It is no secret, or at least it is not now, that I LOVE BEER. I give credit to my husband for introducing me to all the fabulous fermented flavors. I am a huge sucker for sours and will fall weak to just about anyone who brings me a bottle! 😉
To all the sponsors, breweries and home brewers who made this event possible, all the attendees who drank the sweet nectar of hops and barley say,”thank you!” Also a special thanks to the Mountain Brew Club, Lake Arrowhead Chamber of Commerce, Nolan Calkins and Jim Grant for keeping this event alive. I look forward to next year and new Brewfest memories!
Procedes went to Operation Provider, Lake Arrowhead Chamber of Commerce and Blue Jay Merchants Association.

Are you one of those who keeps hearing all the locals use the term ALA? It probably sounds something like this, “I have to pay my ALA dues,” or “don’t forget to bring the ALA card when we go to the beach.” Remember that here in Lake Arrowhead we are a private Lake and all the homeowners in “Arrowhead Woods” like it that way. (Click here to read my blog on Arrowhead Woods)
Below you will find info that I pulled directly from the ALA website: http://www.ala-ca.org/page/24073~502845/Welcome:
If you have any further questions, please call ALA and they will be happy to help.
