DogFest 2013!

As I've mentioned in a few previous posts, Dash and I are taking part of a fundraising event for Canine Companions for Independence called DogFest Walk n Roll.

Canine Companions is a nonprofit organization that is funded by private contributions from individuals; gifts from businesses, civic groups, and service clubs; grants from corporations and foundations; and ongoing fundraising activities such as special events and mailings. DogFest is a main fundraiser with separate events held all across the country. Each event has its own feel to it, but I thought it would be fun to talk about our local event in Strongsville, Ohio. 
DogFest is a family-friendly, dog-friendly event that is easily described as a costume party for dogs and their humans! The highlight of the afternoon is a parade-style walk on which there are fun trick-or-treat stations and any dogs in costume will be judged for a costume competition! We have a DJ spinning tunes, fantastic baskets for a Chinese raffle, a 50/50 raffle, and other fun activities planned!
The theme this year is Walk n Roll so clear your calendar from 12-3pm on Sunday October 20th, dust off your dancin shoes, and join us for a great time! Learn more at cci.org/dogfestcleveland
