As of late, I've been seeing lots of flyers around JMU and downtown advertising an event called Pet Dog Fest. So, I decided to do a little digging and see what it's all about. Here's the deal:
This Saturday, November 6th, from 10-4 at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds, the Mosby Foundation's and PARTNERS!Canine will be putting on a full day of activities and events for you and your best friend! Events include everything from a one-mile dog walk, to CGC dog training, to a search and rescue demonstration. Got the cutest pooch in town? You're in luck! The event will even feature a dog show with classes including Prettiest Eyes and Best Kisser! Pet Dog Fest will have pony rides, face painting, and a bake sale too, so bring the kids and make the event a family affair.
Need more incentive?
- Susannah Charleson will be signing copies of her new book Scent of the Missing
- JMU's Duke Dog will be there!
- All proceeds benefit the Mosby Foundation and PARTNERS!Canines
