This is going to be the most fun we can pack into a two day event

share with your friends, make a road trip, plan ahead...We know people 
are going to be talking about this one for a long, long time....and 
planning to be at the next one too.

And if you haven't found your furry BFF just yet, don't be 
discouraged, we will have people from THE BEST animal rescue groups that
 this Region (and surrounding area) has to offer! And they are bringing 
their Game Faces people.....prepare to be educated in a way you never 
thought possible.....this is the BEST of the BEST. 

If you're looking for a little furry action but don't want the 
commitment - there's always the option of being a Foster to those 
fur-balls whilst they wait for their forever homes. It's like being a 
grandparent really - the rescues pay for their food, vet care, meds, 
anything they need and you just provide a caring, safe home, maybe teach
 some manners, reap all the paws and kisses, and eventually get to send 
them off to a happy home and do it all over again. 

How cool is THAT?? 

Here's a simple rundown of some of the planned activities: 

Saturday - Go Fido, it's your BARKday! - celebrating all that is 
doggies and birthdays...it's PAWTY time. - come out with your furkid(s) 
and celebrate their birthday with games, prizes, treats, contests, 
fashion shows, bobbing for wieners, giveaways, toys, all culminating in 
one big Happy BARKday Cake sing along. - - Shop till you drop with 
vendors, sales, displays, demonstrations, Farmers Market, fresh food, 
and so much more we have to keep some of it a surprise for now. 
*Airbrush tattoos for the furkids * Groomer providing nail trims ....at 
our festival your dog(s) gets to be the STAR ATTRACTION! - Agility 
Playground and so much fun your pup will sleep for 
days! No more standing around watching the action - now you ARE the 
action! 

Sunday - Love is in the Air! - a slower paced day celebrating the 
joining of two hearts in HOWLING MUTTRIMONY. - That's right, full-on, 
vows and all, dress and tux, Doggie I-DO's. - Be a guest at the only 
canine wedding in Durham Region. - Enjoy the decor, flowers, aisle, and 
be a witness to two sweet souls sharing a treat and sealing the deal. 
*Airbrush tattoos for the furkids *Groomer providing nail trims - Shop 
till you drop with vendors, sales, displays, demonstrations, Farmers 
Market, fresh food, and so much more we have to keep some of it a 
surprise for now......at our festival your dog(s) gets to be the STAR 
ATTRACTION! - Agility Playground and so much fun your 
pup will sleep for days! No more standing around watching the action -

And if that isn't enough.....for those of you who are tsk-tsking to 
yourselves because you don't have or (gasp) aren't interested in being 
owned by a dog.....we've got you covered too......The Farmers Market is 
reason enough to pop in and say hello BUT we are lining up the most 
diverse, talented, interesting, fun, friendly, affordable, creative and 
stylish VENDORS that it will knock your socks off! Maybe you should just
 wear flip flops, just in case. You will not want to miss this.... 

SEE YOU THERE!
