Let’s Make It a Paw-Some Day!
Sponsored by our friends at Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, please join us for a fun-filled celebration of summer daze and doggies as we support a great cause. Featuring a collection drive for Border Tails Rescue, a local no-kill nonprofit. Bring doggie supplies to  donate, and enjoy games with your pooch. For humans we'll have music,  games, refreshing lemonade, face painting, your questions answered by a professional dog trainer and much more.

Help us restock food pantry shelves with household cleaning and personal hygiene products such as paper towels, toilet paper,  laundry detergent, dish soap, etc. Cash donations also appreciated. With your generosity we fill a pickup truck!

Our annual end-of-season celebration features free pumpkin decorating for tots, hot apple cider, and a $cavenger hunt throughout the morning. It's your last chance to stock up on all kinds of great food, seasonal decorations, and get a head start on your holiday gift shopping for those special people in your life.
