The 2nd Annual Durham Pet Fair

IT’S FINALLY HERE!!!

The 2nd Annual Durham Pet Fair will be hosted by Help Willy’s Friends and the Durham Veterinarian Hospital on May 16, 2010 at its new, larger location – Coginchaug Regional High School, 135 Pickett Lane, Durham, CT. This fun, FREE and family-oriented event will feature over 25 local animal shelters, more than 50 vendors, entertainment and lots of food for you AND your pet!

At last year’s Pet Fair, animal shelters from general municipal to breed-specific, brought their best and brightest animals to meet the public in the hopes of finding them loving, forever homes. Nearly every pet that attended was adopted! With so many more shelters and people expected to attend this year, we are confident that many more animals will find that same furry-tail ending.

We are also anticipating over 50 local vendors and artisans who will be showcasing their services and products ranging from handmade jewelry, doggie attire and organic pet treats to pet sitting services and woodworking. Tons of freebies will be available, so don’t miss out!

And the fun won’t stop there! Activities and entertainment to keep you, your family AND your pets engaged and excited have been planned, such as …

Live music
Pet blessing
Free face painting
Wine-tasting
DJ
Food vendors
Touch-a-Truck

Nail clipping
State police K-9 unit demonstration
Pet photos

Silent auction

The 2nd Annual Durham Pet Fair is not just an opportunity for those looking to add to their pet families, it’s also a FREE, fun-filled day for those who just love animals, so mark it on your calendar and we look forward to seeing you there!
