The 2019 Disc Dog Southern Nationals Qualifier tournament began at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival more than 25 years ago with only 10 competitors as a one-day event. This annual competition has grown to a two-day event and has become one of the most prestigious canine sporting events in the South. Today, it is a premier USDDN World Finals Qualifier. It’s also a festival favorite for many attendees!

Another year, another great Atlanta Dogwood Festival, another great Atlanta High School Art Exhibition (AHSAE), another great Art Throwdown. I hope you made it down to the park for the festival. If you made it on Saturday, you may already know that SKA Academy Of Art and Design won overall and Holy Spirit Preparatory School won second place in the interscholastic art throwdown scrimmage on the lawn. We're already looking forward to next year; check out this space in early 2020!
