Black tie, tails optional.
On June 6 DC goes to the dogs at the Bark Ball, a black-tie dinner and dance benefiting the Washington Humane Society to be held at the Washington Hilton Hotel. Primped pooches and their two-legged partners will trot and twirl to live music, with all proceeds from the ball (and silent auction) going to the Society's adoption program and other pet-friendly activities (8 PM dinner, 9 PM dancing; $250 per person; for more info and tickets, click here).
