Intergroom Events

Slipper Saturday

Saturday at Intergroom will be a special day, because we are going to have Slipper Saturday. That means that for your shopping comfort you are welcome to wear slippers all day and give your feet a break. Slippers will be available from Gwen’s Slipper Emporium, Puppies with a Purpose, and for a $30 donation which all proceeds will go to Res-Q-Pets and Second Chance rescues. So your feet can take a break and hopefully some pets will get a break also.

Slipper Saturday

Shirley Kalstone Creative Runway

Saturday Evening after the Best In Show awards

This class is designed to underscore the beauty of a simple abstract design, beautifully sculpted, and devoid of props costumes, accessories, etc. Minimal color, if any, is permitted. We are looking for stunning quality and artistry which would be appropriate for a client’s dog and can be reproduced in one day. Competitor’s attire should not detract from or overpower the groom; it can be complementary or an extension of the design. Before each presentation, the emcee will briefly interview the Competitors for biographical information and design explanation. Runway music will be provided by the show producer. Entries used for this class must be groomed prior to competition. Any Purebred or Mixed Breed dog, as well as cat, may be used. If using an entry from a previous class, Competitor must make a distinguishable difference in the design.
