The Dog Bowl again returns to Cain's Ballroom, 3-6 p.m. Feb. 17 at the historic venue, 423 N. Main St.

Proceeds benefit local nonprofit Forrest & Jenny's Place Animal Rescue. The day includes competition events for dogs, live music from Klondike Five String Band, eats from Capp's BBQ and a silent auction. Prizes include a pair of tickets to see Lady Gaga March 20 at the BOK Center, and the April 13 Miranda Lambert tour stop at BOK Center.

This is the annual, family-friendly fundraiser for Forrest & Jenny's Place. The nonprofit aids in placement of homeless pets and public education.

A $10 entry fee applies to dogs that compete, or attend to watch events for free. Competition events such as "The Quarterback Sack," "Fastest First and Ten," and "Best Wide Receiver" are featured. There also will be a dog costume competition. No formal training is required, but please bring proof of rabies vaccination.

Competing dogs are eligible to win a grand prize worth over $200.

There is a $15 cover for humans, and that includes a Capp's BBQ dinner. Radio personality Nina Valente will emcee.

The silent auction items donated by Charlie Sheen, Bob Griese, Dean Koontz, Sam Bradford, Elizabeth Taylor and more.

Forrest and Jenny's Place is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
