"Who Let the Dogs Out?"

That's the perennial question on Mud Island every year when the Harbor Town Dog Show gets underway. This year's 10th annual event  is set for October 28th, 12 p.m. in Harbor Town's Nursery Park, and as always, promises loads of fun and laughs.

As in years past, this year's event benefits the Humane Society of Memphis and Shelby County.

Competitions include most obedient, least obedient, most glamorous, most mysterious heritage, original Costume, best float" and best vocal performance, to just to name a few.

As we turn the calendar to October and Fall-related activities, the idea of baking becomes more attractive. Here's a recipe that combines fall-favorite pumpkins with all-time favorite brownies, courtesy of Betty Crocker:

Ingredients:

Filling:

1 pkg (3 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

1 egg

3 tbsp. sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg

Brownies:

1 box Betty Crocker Premium Brownies Ultimate Fudge

1/4 cup vegetable oil

2 tbsp. water

1 egg

Step 1: Heat oven to 350 degrees (325 for dark or non-stick pan). Grease bottom only of a 9-inch square pan with shortening or non-stick spray. In small bowl, beat all filling ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Set aside.

Underground Art is hosting a benefit event on Saturday, April 1st. They will be giving $20 tattoos from 3-10pm with all proceeds going to the Hearts of Gold Pit Bull Rescue.

There will also be artwork for sell, a kissing booth, clothes for sell, a local home brew will be available, and Yolo Frozen Yogurt will be selling cold treats.

The tattoo artists are volunteering their time for the event and will be working the entire time. They have already drawn up the tattoo designs they will be offering.

Underground Art is also hoping to have artists perform in an open mic situation.

This will be a cash only event.
