All the Sweet Doggos We Saw at Louisville's First Bluegrass PugFest - LEO Weekly

Pugs were treated like royalty at the first Bluegrass PugFest, held at the Kentucky Exposition Center Saturday. The adorable fun continues this Sunday.

Originally Milwaukee PugFest, the annual event followed its founders, Rick and Debbie Kopaczewski, when they relocated to Louisville.

At Saturday’s gathering of the pugs, a king and queen pug were crowned and the rest were treated to a custard eating contest.

Sunday, there will be a pug costume contest and pug races.
