Bring Your Animal Friends to LaughFests’ People and Pets Event March 8 [Video]

Pets can be seriously funny. Just go online. Every other video is cats squeezing into too tiny boxes, talking dogs, fainting goats, and birds with mad dance skills.

We love our animals! That's why it's great that they can share in the fun of  Gilda's LaughFest at the People and Pets event.  

People and Pets is March 8 at the Grand Rapids Community College Ford Field House at 12 p.m.

All pets are welcome! And it's free!

There will be pet look alike, best trick, and costume contests. Get your picture taken with your furry (or not furry) friend in a photo booth, win awesome prizes, and more!

Check out this video from last year's People and Pets event and find out more at Laughfest.org.
