WORTH NOTING Cutchogue goes to the dogs

The dogs will definitely have their day Saturday, May 15, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when the third Cutchogue Canine Classic comes to Castello di Borghese Vineyard on the North Road.

Dog owners can enter their prize pooches in any of 12 competitive categories, including best mutt, best trick and best pet and people lookalike — as well as “Aged to Perfection” and “Simply Irresistible.” The entry fee is $10 per category; register online at cutchoguecanineclassic.com or at 9 a.m. at the event.

For humans, there will also be raffles, food, music and craft vendors. Grounds admission is $5 for adults, $3 for kids.

Proceeds benefit animal welfare organizations including SAVES, Kent Animal Shelter, North Fork Animal Welfare League and the Guide Dog Foundation/America’s Vet Dogs.
