Today is warm!! About 50 degrees or more at the Delware Beaches. After these past couple of weeks it is time to get together and celebrate the 8th Annual Lewes Winter Fest Barkfest, in Historic Downtown Lewes.
This is a fundraising event for Georgetown SPCA. Last year it was a bit cool, but we were all there to see all the pooches parade during the popular Pet Pageant on BARK STREET!!
Yappy Hour starts Friday, the 14th at Irish Eyes, located at 213 Anglers Rd. Party with your pooch and meet other Yappers!! from 5 until 7 p.m. It should be fun. Pets should be on a leash. Drinks like Bark-tini and the Cat-atonic will be available. Irish Eyes will be donating 10% of their total food sales for the entire day to the SPCA.
Winter Fest Barkfest was started by Lesley Bowers, owner of P.U.P.S., Pawsitively Unique Pet Shop, located on Second Street. Website? http://www.pupsoflewes.com.
The Georgetown SPCA will have a “Fill the Van” during both events at which time they are soliciting donations of blankets, sheets, pet food, kitty litter, toys, dog bones and bleach for cleaning their kennels.
On Saturday, 2/15 at 2 p.m. the Pet Pageant will begin, where pets of all sizes and shapes, ages and genders strut their stuff in front of the judges and the crowds. The professional photographers will be there to capture all the excitement.
Four categories for competition: Formal Wear, Leisure Wear, Companion Look Alike, and Kids Freestyle, open only to children.
Registration takes place at P.U.P.S. at 117 Second Street. You can also register on Saturday in front of Citizens Bank from Noon until 1:30 p.m. The registration entry donation is $5 and benefits the Delaware SPCA.
All contestants must be on site no later than 1:30 p.m. to receive their entry numbers. They can line up with their owners at 1:45 p.m. behind Citizens Bank.
NOTE: This year, very special shelter dogs will be in attendance, showing their unconditional love and looking for their forever homes!!
Have a good one!!
