Christmas in July Showcase

OAK is turning up the holiday heat with a sun-soaked celebration of creativity, community, and canines! At the heart of the event is a charity auction featuring 12 custom-designed dog houses, each a one-of-a-kind creation by local builders and designers. These imaginative works will be on display starting July 17 and available for bidding on July 26, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Oklahoma Humane Society. It’s a summer event that’s merry, bright and totally unique. The unforgettable day includes: - Reindog Parade (Summer Series) Emcee Brittany Gaskill Registration is $25 per dog, and 100% of proceeds go directly to the Oklahoma Humane Society.
