Sewanee's First Canine Musical Sit Competition

All About Sewanee AngelFest Canine Musical Sit
5:00 -6:30 PM Friday, September 26, 2014
Angel Park, Downtown Sewanee, TN
Please come watch even if you don't have a dog. It's fun!

It’s just like musical chairs only for dogs. Owners walk dogs in a circle. When the music starts, everyone walks. When it stops, sit your dogs. Last dog to sit is eliminated. This is repeated until there is one dog left. 


There are three Preliminary Rounds at 5:00, 5:30 and 6:00 PM. There are only 10 spots open in each of these rounds so come sign up to reserve your space. Registration opens at the Musical Sit table at Angel Park at 4:00PM.

Winner of each preliminary round is rewarded with a bag of Angel Dog Bisquits handmade and donated by Connie Keetle. These are the yummy angel biscuits that are available every day at Mooney's Market and Emporium. 

Preliminary Rounds' first and second place pooches are eligible to return at 6:30 to participate in the Championship Round. There are 6 spots available in the Championship rounds, so If for some reason the first and second place winners of the Preliminary Rounds don’t return at 6:30, then third place winners are eligible to enter the Championship match and so on. So even if you don’t win first or place in the Preliminary Rounds, please return at 6:30 just in case. You may have a shot! 

Winner of the Championship Round will receive a self-watering dog bowl compliments of the Phil White Dog Park.

Guidelines

There are 10 spots in each of the three preliminary rounds.
