Second Sunday in OTR

A plethora of puppies greeted visitors to Over-the-Rhine last Sunday when Dog Day in OTR took over Main Street and Jackson Street. Of course, the two-legged attendees had plenty of fun as well!

Check out some of the pictures:

Plenty of dogs made new friends!

Icing shots, quite possibly the best. idea. ever.

Main Street was closed off to traffic, leaving it open to pedestrians, vendors, revelers, and neighbors.

They don’t call it the Queen City for nothin’! These ladies stole the show at the Drag Races…

…but the dogs in drag were a close second!

Grabbing a quick bite to eat from Cafe de Wheels — I recommend the sweet potato fries and mini key lime pie. Mmmm…

We were all thankful the rain stayed away, and everyone had a great time!
