Poochapalooza, held July 12 at Asbery Field, drew dogs big and small for a day of fun and excitement that was all about the dogs. In all, the 3rd Annual Poochapalooza Outdoor Dog Event drew an estimated 1,500 people and 400 dogs. Dubbed as “a county fair for dogs,” the event, hosted by the Marysville Dog Owners Group and Marysville Parks and Recreation, raised more than $2,000 toward development and maintenance for a proposed off-leash park at Strawberry Fields Athletic Complex on 152nd Street NE in Marysville, which could open as early as September.
