Last Dog Days of Summer Fest Sept 13

DELHI — After many successful years of hosting the Woofs & Wags Dog Walk on site at our shelter, Heart of the Catskill Humane Society is retiring the dog walk and putting a fresh face on our September fundraiser.  We are calling it the “Last Dog Days of Summer Fest! Our new, family (and dog!) friendly festival will be held at the beautiful River Rock Farm located at 739 County Highway 18 in Delhi (just cross over Fitches Covered Bridge) on Saturday, September 13th from 11am to 3pm.

Lots of activities will be happening including live local acoustic music throughout the event performed by Dos Amigos. Tasty treats will include a BBQ featuring chicken, burgers, hot dogs, and veggie burgers cooked by a guest grill master and delicious side salads provided by the SUNY Delhi culinary students. There will be an art and jewelry sale and basket raffles in the main barn, a kids’ arts and craft tent with lots of different crafts to enjoy, corn hole games, and a scavenger hunt. And of course, we will have our famous bake sale tent and gift and pet items for sale at our Beastie Boutique!

There will be demonstrations and educational information on hand as well. Visitors can enjoy an agility and canine carting demonstration and stop by our education tents occupied by Friends of the Feathered & Furry Wildlife Center (there will be some type of wildlife at this tent) and Wolf Mountain Nature Center (there will be no live animals at this tent). Feel free to ask our educators questions and learn some new things about wildlife!

Come on over (rain or shine!) and relax, eat, listen to tunes, enjoy lots of activities and stroll the beautiful grounds at River Rock Farm on Saturday, September 13th.  We hope to see you there!
