Don't Forget: Furry Fall Festival on Sunday

It's always fun to be out and about with you pet -- and in costume this time of the year. The perfect event this weekend is Faithful Friends' Furry Fall Festival at St. Anthony in the Hills.

The festival, a fundraiser for the no-kill shelter in Wilmington, is from noon to 5 p.m. Sunday (rain or shine) at The Hills in Avondale, Pa. Registration is from 11:30-noon; a "strut your mutt" walk around the lake starts at 12:15 p.m.

Admission is $10 for the festival; children 5 and younger get in free. For the walk, a minimum $25 donation/pledge is requested ($25 minimum covers admission, T-shirt, bottled water and snacks for walker and pet). Special prizes for pledge money raised over $250.

Even if you don't participate in the walk, there's also a pet costume contest, hayrides, lots of pet business vendors, plenty of food and live music. Not a bad way to spend a crisp, fall afternoon with your dog and your friends. To get more info or to register, go to Faithful Friends' Web site.
