Breckenridge bans pets at events

Pet owners in Breckenridge could face fines of up to $100 if they take their pets to events where pets are prohibited.

The new measure passed by the town council prohibits animals from attending no-pet events unless they are involved in the event,

Breckenridge chief of police Rick Holman tells the Summit Daily News (http://bit.ly/nkCbmb ) the ban was issued because of safety and food issues.
