Dogs leaping into the water and custom-built sprinter vans are just a couple attractions that will draw attention this weekend at the Sportsman Boat and RV Show at the Kern County Fairgrounds.
A dock-diving competition sponsored by Dogtopia, will include at least over 150 dogs over the weekend, with multiple time slots available for spectators.
