Who says cats and dogs don’t get along?
This summer, the cities of Catskill and Hudson host public art exhibitions in their business districts. Due to the overwhelming success of last year’s Cat’n Around Catskill (cat-n-aroundcatskill.com) public art project, the Heart of Catskill Association decided an encore was in order.
Over 60 artist interpretations of the fiberglass kitties return to Main Street for Cat’n Around Catskill 2008. 
The exhibition opens Memorial Day weekend and runs through September 19th.
The fabulous felines will again be auctioned at The Cat’s Meow Benefit Gala with proceeds benefiting local charities. Last year’s proceeds climbed to a whopping $84,000! Tickets for the Gala are $30 and may be purchased through the Heart of Catskill Association www.heartofcatskill.com
Just across the river, roughly 10 miles away in the City of Hudson, Best in Show opens July 4th weekend and runs through October 8th.
Sixty two hand painted hounds will be on parade in the Hudson Business District.
Dog themed contests, entertainment and performances will be part of Best in Show events throughout the summer.
