Save the Date: Delaware Dog Fest Is April 19


One of my favorite pet-related events each year is the Delaware Dog Fest at St. Anthony in the Hills near Avondale, Pa. It's something about the setting - tranquil (except when the dogs start barking) and a little isolated - and being surrounded by all types and sizes of dogs, and also knowing that spring is on its way.

This year's Delaware Dog Fest is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, April 19. Admission is free to the event hosted by the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League. There are vendors, rescue groups, a DJ and very cool raffles.

Bring your well-behaved dogs (on a leash - no retractables past 6 feet), and be prepared to have a good time.

You can buy a goodie bag and Delaware Dog Fest T-shirt when you order by March 27. The goodie bag fee is $20 per person and your order can be picked up at the entrance to the fest on April 19. Proceeds go to help orphaned great Danes - and they need a lot of care. Have you seen how big they are?
