Bigger, better Just Nuisance Day
SOON the annual Just Nuisance Day rolls into town – Simon’s Town that is.
This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, with leading dog food brand JOCK coming on board to celebrate the legendary Great Dane’s birthday on April 1.
JOCK Dog Food has come on board to endorse the Just Nuisance Dog Walk to celebrate our wellloved four-legged friends.
Dog rescue organisation TEARS and JOCK will help make this fun family event something that dog lovers from all over the Western Cape, and visitors, won’t soon forget. JOCK will also be contributing R20 000 to the TEARS “Pimp My Kennel” campaign and will donate 1 ton of dog food before Just Nuisance Day.
This annual event is named after Just Nuisance, the giant Great Dane with a larger-than-life personality and the first dog ever to be officially enrolled in the Royal Navy. With JOCK’s pay-off line “Unleash your inner legend”, the historical and heroic story of Just Nuisance is a perfect fit for the JOCK brand and associating with this annual event affords the brand an exciting opportunity to celebrate all the four-legged legends in our country.
This year’s event will commemorate Just Nuisance’s extraordinary spirit by featuring the annual dog walk along the streets of Simon’s Town, along with a host of exciting new family activities. Various competitions and a lucky draw will take place while the naval marching band and canine unit keep the crowd thoroughly entertained.
JOCK Dog Food will be sponsoring the following prizes:
1. Raffle Ticket Lucky Draw: R1 500 cash and a JOCK hamper (proceeds from the raffle tickets will go to TEARS)
2. Dog-Owner Look-a-Like Competition: R1 500 cash and a JOCK hamper
3. Best-dressed Dog Competition: R1 500 cash and a JOCK hamper
“As a brand that’s all about celebrating the canine legends in our lives, getting involved in Just Nuisance Day is the perfect platform for JOCK to reach out to the dog-loving public. We’re delighted that this can help TEARS to raise funds to continue the amazing work they do all year round,” said JOCK marketing executive Liezel van Bergen.
The event takes place on April 1 from 11am to 3pm at Jubilee Square, Simon’s Town, and is open to all. – Staff Reporter
