Koda steals the show Saturday at the weekend Art Fiesta at Old Fort Park in New Smyrna Beach

Miakoda and I took a drive down to the New Smyrna Beach Art Fiesta weekend craft fair on Satureday at Old Fort Park and the weather was perfect for the day. Once we found a parking spot we walked over to the fair and it was very crowded.

We were greeted immediately by people who are at the show each year. We have gone to so many that Koda was hearing his name called all over the place.

As we walked around all the booths, many people were amazed to see Koda understand the Left and Right command. This makes it so easy to manage the crowds that gather here.

We saw many other dogs all behaving very well.

I did manage to pick up a couple items for my kids as we walked but Koda was having so much more fun meeting new people.

We took pictures with several people as we walked around ranging from small kids to the seniors in the group. We of course had to meet up with some of the crafters that are there every year. Koda insisted on finding Tyler and Mary Ann Parks photograpy booth since they give him so much loving attention.

Trying to gather names from everyone was almost impossible with holding a wolf dog in one hand and the camera in the other but we did get some wonderful photos for my blog with NSBNews.Net.

Koda found one young lady whom he seemed very enamored with and really wanted to give her kisses on her cheek. He also met a little girl who just loved petting him on the back. As we walked around, Koda was getting compliments on every thing from how he looks to how well he behaves.

I have never been sure how people expect a Wolf Dog to behave but apparently he behaves very well.

He did try to drink out of a few of the water fountains and he also wanted to wash his paws, but I did make him hold out on that so he would not get everyone wet.

When Koda was ready we headed back home. As of this writing,  and he is now sleeping very contentedly probably dreaming of all the hot dogs, and dog treats he had as he walked around.
