Wags, Whiskers, and Whimsy at Clearbrook's Pet Festival
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (August 26, 2014) - Wag those tails and jump for joy because Clearbrook's first-ever Raise the Roof Pet Festival is coming to Melas Park in Mount Propsect on Saturday, September 13 from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
In the morning, strut your mutt at the 2K Pet Parade and Walk where every human registrant will receive a T-shirt and goody bag and every four-legged registrant will receive a favor of their own. Then, join us at the finish line for activities and fun for the whole family, including pet vendors, demonstrations, the Petco Adoption Zone, and an activity zone featuring an animal friendly photo booth, the Veterinary Specialty Center of Buffalo Grove Puppy Kissing Booth, paw art booth, and crafts for kids.
If competition is more your style, register for one of the many contests brought to you by Subaru to showcase your pet's skills, abilities and good looks. Contests include Best Dressed, Most Obedient, Look-A-Like, Best Trick, Most Unique Trick, and Fetching.
