Can you walk your dog at the craft show?

Katrina's Reply: Hi Kelly, I would think it would be too hot for them to be out.
Here's what the Town Code says:
Sec. 5-10. - Control of animals on public beaches.

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person who owns or has control of any animal to permit such animal to be on the public sand beaches or the boardwalk between April 1 and September 30 of each year. Any person violating this subsection

(a) shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor.

(b) This section shall not be applicable to a guide dog, hearing dog or service dog trained to accompany a person with a disability while accompanying such person, or to any dog in the custody or control of a law enforcement officer while such officer is in the performance of his duties.

(c) For the purposes of this section, the term "animal" shall include, but is not limited to, any mammal, bird, or reptile.
