Annual Events
DogtoberFest
The region's first and largest family event...and you can bring your dog!
From Bobbin Doggin and PawCasso and Americanine Idol, the dogs have a great time. The dogs may even be blessed (literally!). Folks are able to strut their mutt in the Parade of Dogs. The dogs and their owners can run the agility course and try Fly ball to their heart's content. The kid's play area includes face painting, clowns, Moon Walks, games, and prizes. Caricaturists draw both people and dogs. Vendors sell a wide range of wonderful and unique items all day. There is a variety of food coordinated by Doggone Good Diner. Chateau Morrisette offers a wine tasting of their wines.
DogtoberFest is a happy, fun day for the whole family, including the canine members of the family! Photos from DogtoberFest 2011 are coming soon! Click Here to see photos from DogtoberFest 2010.
