Dads can also have fun with the entire family watching the FIDO 500 mini puppy races, the feature attraction in the Findlay Toyota Family Fun Zone. More than a dozen miniature purebred dogs participate in races that take place between the horse races throughout the day. Nearly all of the FIDO 500 competitors are rescue dogs, each with a touching story that is shared during introductions by Master of Ceremonies Rocket Hoskins. The Findlay Toyota Family Fun Zone also features Corn Hole, Tether Ball, and Sand Box fun.
“Dads are often the hardest person to shop for in the family,” said Arizona Downs General Manager Ann McGovern. “You can’t go wrong bringing him to the newest attraction in Prescott Valley, and one of the most affordable family experiences around.”
