World Champion Frisbee Dogs Return to Carlisle Bike Fest in 2013

CARLISLE, Pa. - June 13, 2013 - PRLog -- Carlisle Bike Fest, held annually at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds, enters its 11th year in 2013.  This year's weekend, July 19-21, welcomes back some very special four-legged guests in the form of trainer Lawrence Frederick and his Frisbee Dogs, professionally known as the Disc-Connected K9's.  The dogs and Frisbee fun will be just one great aspect to a weekend that includes live music, the hottest trends in the motorcycle industry, special displays, thousands of bikes and fun for the entire family.

As part of the family entertainment, Frederick and his dogs return for the third time to Carlisle (Bike Fest 2009 and 2011) and will showcase their World Champion Frisbee Dogs, including Harley Davidson and Easy Rider.  In having three World Champion Dogs and nine additional World Championship finalist onsite, Disc-Connected K9’s is the only traveling show of its kind with such top notch “talent” on its roster.  Making these dogs even more special is the fact that they are rescues trained (or re-trained) to do what they do best - run, play and entertain.  Disc-Connected became Harley’s 7th home while Easy Rider was moving into his 4th home.  Both animals now have a “forever” home with the Disc-Connected family.

"The greatest fulfillment I have had in my life is being able to perform with my dogs all over the world demonstrating to people what you can do with these rescued dogs if you just give them a second chance in life,” noted owner and trainer Lawrence Frederick.  “They will undoubtedly return the appreciation and love 100 fold."

Coming to Carlisle is a homecoming of sorts for Frederick as well.  Frederick, a Jacksonville, Florida area resident, spent his early teen years in the Carlisle/Shippensburg area as his mom worked for a local company.  "Having lived in the region from the age of 10-14, it is wonderful to come back and see how the area has grown and to catch up with old friends and family,” said Frederick.  He added that “since some of my old classmates and friends weren't able to see us when we were here the last two times or witness firsthand what a quality event the Carlisle Bike Fest is, I’m hoping that a lot of them will be able to catch up with us in 2013."

Bike Fest weekend is about more than just Frisbee dogs or family fun.  The weekend plays host to more than 35,000 bike enthusiasts and thousands of bikes.  The weekend is truly the Mid-Atlantic's premier bike event and features demo rides from some of the biggest two and three wheeled bike makers around.  There are also bike giveaways, scenic cruise options available, industry guests and more.  Whether guests spend a few hours or the entire day at Carlisle Bike Fest, they'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of apparel, motorcycle and accessory vendors that are second to none.
