Kick off the evening with Yappy Hour, a fun and festive gathering before the walk begins! Bring your friends, family, and pups to enjoy:
- Live acoustic music by Gareth Bush
- Face painting and temporary tattoos for all ages
- Pet Valu’s Ask-a-Dog-Expert booth for pet tips and giveaways
- A photo booth station to capture memories
- A chance to win big at our raffle
- A relaxing lounge area to hang out with fellow walkers
- Complimentary hot dogs, veggie dogs, and refreshments
Most importantly, you’ll have the chance to meet our dedicated staff and some of our incredible clients, including Jacob Ormonde and her Hearing Dog Guide, Zenith. It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with the community that makes all of this possible.
