A new pet contest has been created to get the community ready to ‘raise the woof’ at Pet-Palooza. Orland Township residents can nominate their beloved pets to be Orland Township’s ‘SuPETvisor’ of The Year!

Between Friday, Aug. 11 and Friday, Aug. 28, residents can nominate their pet by messaging the Pet-Palooza Facebook page (www.facebook.com/orlandtownshippetpalooza) a photo. The message should include their pet’s name and a few sentences about why he/she would make a great ‘SuPETvisor’. The message should also include a contact number and proof of Orland Township residency (ID).

Between Friday, Sept. 1 and Thursday, Sept. 14, everyone is invited to view all the nominees in a special Facebook post and vote for their favorite(s)! The winner will receive special recognition at the event and will be featured on select media for the next annual Pet-Palooza.
