Join us for some barks ‘n brews, as we will have alcoholic drinks available for purchase during the event. Also, back by popular demand; an egg hunt for dogs! If your dog sniffs the egg, you can pick it up as the eggs will be filled with dog friendly treats. Don’t forget to take a picture with a fellow furry friend, the Easter Bunny! We are looking for dog-related vendors. Face Masks will be required at the event. If you are interested in being a vendor, please contact Tracy at twrase@newlenoxparks.org.
