The sixth annual Dog House Derby is happening Saturday at Cleveland County Animal Services, located at 1601 Airport Road in Shelby.
Hosted by the Association for the Welfare of Animals, work begins at 9 a.m. and continues until the task is finished. A rain date is scheduled for Nov. 23.
People are encouraged to bring power drills if they have them to assemble the precut dog houses, but it is not required.
The AWA works with area high school CTE students under their teachers' supervision to cut out the houses from single sheets of plywood in carpentry classes. Those kits are then assembled during the derby.
