"Well, experience the reality at this year's Corgi Con, an annual gathering of the corgis held this month at the Alameda County Fairgrounds. The organizers bill the convention as the "largest corgi event in Corgifornia and probably the world," and who's going to fact-check them on that? Regularly held at San Francisco's Ocean Beach before regulations forced it into the suburbs, Corgi Con attracts legions of these short-legged, fluffy-bottomed hounds, whose name is Welsh for "dwarf dog.""
"While the schedule is yet-to-be announced, past conventions have included costume contests and a "Corgi Ninja Warrior" obstacle course tailored for very wee legs. There are usually speed races and a giant group picture that should provide phone-background happiness for a year. Also merch, from vendors selling everything from keychains and corgi plushies to patterned dog scarves. Note: Other dog breeds are welcome, and will be treated like honorary corgis for the day."
Corgi Con is an annual gathering of corgis held at Alameda County Fairgrounds in Pleasanton. Organizers bill the convention as the "largest corgi event in Corgifornia and probably the world." The event previously drew crowds at San Francisco's Ocean Beach before regulations moved it to the suburbs. Past conventions have included costume contests, a "Corgi Ninja Warrior" obstacle course for very short legs, speed races, and a giant group photo. Vendors sell corgi-themed merchandise such as keychains, plushies, and patterned dog scarves. Other dog breeds are welcome and will be treated as honorary corgis for the day.
