Love the Cards? Love Your Dog? Then This Game is for You (and Fido)

Dogs get to have their day at the ballpark at the upcoming Purina Pooches in the Ballpark. That's right, you can attend a St. Louis Cardinals game with your dog, sit in a designated "pooch" section, watch dog performances and more on Sunday, June 6. It's the sixth year for the event, which will include more than 150 dogs and their human caregivers.

Tickets for this event are sold out (for the special pooches section). But we have some to give away to one lucky reader, and they're worth $100 each! We are giving the tickets away on our Facebook page now at www.facebook.com/stlkids. All you have to do is go to the page, "like" our page if you haven't yet, and answer our trivia question. We'll choose a random winner out of those who answer the trivia question correctly on Tuesday, June 1.

Purina and Schnucks sponsor this event every year as a way for dog owners to spend more quality time with their pet. And your dog will get to do more than bark their approval of Cardinal runs. A Canine Cardinals Fan Parade and the spectacular Purina Incredble Dog Team Performance will take place before the game. At the dog team performance, incredibly talented, athletic canines will snatch flying discs out of the air while performing some amazing tricks. The Purina Incredible Dog Team travels across the country performing at sporting events and television shows, so this is a rare chance to see them perform in their hometown.

Other pre-game entertainment includes a First "Fetch," and all dogs attending the game will receive a "Pooch Pack" with lots of great gear to help them stay cool at the game. (Portable misters and a baby pool will also be available in the pooch section of the stadium.) The Animal Protective Association of Missouri will be on site with adoptable pets looking for permanent loving homes. The game starts at 7:05, but the pre-game entertainment begins at 5:45 p.m. Now that's nothing to sniff at.
