KINGSTON will celebrate its furry, four-legged friends at the annual Pet Expo event on Saturday 2 April from 10am–3pm at Corrigan Oval and the Harold Box Community Centre in Marcus Rd, Dingley.
Kingston mayor Cr Tamsin Bearsley said the Pet Expo was a fun day out for the whole family – and pets are welcome to join in.
