Eight more pups are sitting up and begging to be Grafton’s dog mayor

There are now 14 dogs vying for the title of Dog Mayor of Grafton, and time is running out to join the dog fight!

Our very latest candidates have employed props and engaging poses to gain votes, with owners sharing interesting backstories. There’s also a potential rivalry brewing for Select Board, of all things, as both Ann Marie Foley and Colleen Roy are insisting that their respective puppy pals are the town’s top dog.

The contest, sponsored by the Grafton 4th of July Parade Committee, will select the town’s top dog, an honor that comes with an array of prizes — including Dog Tag #1 during the next registration!

Deadline for nominees is Tuesday at 5 p.m. Email a photo of your dog to jennifer@graftoncommon.com, its name (and yours!), and tell us why they should be Grafton Dog Mayor.

Voting will be held here at Grafton Common, with no limits on votes, starting Tuesday evening. The polls will close on July 2. The top three dogs will then go before a panel of judges on July 3.

All nominees are invited to strut their stuff at the 4th of July Parade, when the Dog Mayor will be formally unveiled!

The parade starts at the North Street Elementary School at 10 a.m. and marches down to Grafton Common.
