This was written by one of our volunteers who had to get rabies shots right after Moparfest 2011. He was directing traffic out on the road for us.

This was an attempt at having me for lunch yesterday for a lovely chocolate Lab dog at Peel and Bleams.
Completely unprovoked as I was holding traffic back so the owners could cross Peel Street.
Two people, walking two dogs on leashes. One came around the back of the other and just jumped and grabbed! 
I expect it didn't like my safety vest - tore it right off and put a hole in my committee member shirt too!
I'm not sure if the people were locals or visitors going back to their car. I didn't ask them anything, just told them to go and get the dogs off the street and away from me.
If this isn't enough of a reason to keep dogs away, just imagine if it were a child!!
It always surprises me the arguments and grunting we get from people that want to bring dogs to the event - not just ours, but any event of this size and intensity!
Don't ever give in to letting dogs attend - the last thing the group needs is a lawsuit by a parent whose child has been bitten in the face like this.
arent whose child has been bitten in the face like this.
