Fredericksburg Brings Back Historic Dog Mart This Fall
Fredericksburg Virginia readies revival of the colonial era dog mart with a dog show auction rifle shooting fox horn blowing contests and a Pamunky Indian ceremony at James Monroe stadium on October 1. The event traces to 1698 as a trading gathering where dogs were swapped promising the biggest wam pum as traders’ stock. The revival aims to recreate the festive pageant and market that faded after 1941.
