Gaston County celebrates just plain dogs The Gaston Gazette Whether looking the most like their owner or being happy and they know it, just plain dogs deserve to be celebrated. The Just Plain Dog Show, held Saturday at Dallas Park, celebrated the simple, unique and in-between qualities of dogs for the 48th annual show. The show allows for all types of dogs to participate along with their owners, who must be at least 6 years old. "My favorite part is just being able to see all the different groups of dogs come around and children being able to have as much fun as the dogs do," said Spencer Hall, marketing and special events coordinator for Gaston County Parks and Recreation, the host of the event.
