For years Lapressa.it has offered free and independent information to its readers without any type of public contribution. Private advertising covers part of the costs, but it is not sufficient. For this reason we ask those who read us and follow us every day to give us, if they wish, a contribution based on their possibilities. Even a small support, multiplied by the tens of thousands of people from Modena and Emilia-Romagna who read us daily, is fundamental.
The third edition of Zampa Fest kicks off in Modena, an afternoon of celebration that will be held on Sunday 12 May from 2pm to 6pm in the same location as previous editions: the Orange 182 Kiosk immersed in the greenery of the Ferrari Park (entrance from Strada San Faustino 182) . The event, promoted by Livisto, a multinational veterinary pharmaceutical products company, is sponsored by the Municipality of Modena, ENPA (National Animal Protection Agency) and Radio Bruno and organized by the Labirinto agency. Entrance to Zampa Fest and all scheduled activities is free. In case of rain the event will be postponed to Sunday 19 May.
We start with the amateur dog parade, a fun moment where the dog, accompanied by its owner, walks the catwalk trying to earn the applause and smiles of the public present. Two new judging categories will be added to the traditional parade: seniority and similarity between dogs and owners, to enhance the principles of connection, joy and love.
The parade will start from 4pm, and to participate you must register online at zampafest.deltatic.it.
You will be able to participate in dynamic activities such as mobility and dog agility, both non-competitive disciplines consisting of obstacle courses where the dog, together with his ‘human’, can maintain and strengthen the relationship of trust. During the afternoon, various personalized educational courses and basic commands are also planned to strengthen the relationship between dog and owner, including Nosework: a fun and stimulating sporting dog activity in which dogs use their exceptional sense of smell to find objects hidden. At Zampa Fest it will also be possible to learn more about the work of zookeepers and meet with dog educators. In the Amici Pet area you can participate in many awareness and information activities, such as Pet Therapy – to discover the rehabilitative and therapeutic potential of the relationship with animals – and Dog Tourism – which provides useful advice for planning pet-friendly holidays.
And again the canine aperitif, in an area completely used for relaxation, near the bar, surrounded by the greenery of the Ferrari Park where you can enjoy a good aperitif, for four-legged friends and their owners. Furthermore, this year too it will be possible to purchase Zampa Fest t-shirts, the proceeds of which will be donated to the PTRI School to finance its various activities in the area, and in particular the Respira-MO Pet Therapy project for the patients of the Modena Polyclinic .
