Raise the Woof at Clearbrook's pet festival
Wags, whiskers, and whimsy, oh my! Grab your kids, pets and friends and join the fun at Clearbrook's second annual Raise the Woof Pet Festival from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12, in Melas Park, 1500 W. Central Road, Mount Prospect.
Some of this year's featured activities are a paw art T-shirt station, craft station, dog baths, most-excited-tail contest, look-alike contest, dog rally, food trucks, 2k pet walk, demonstrations, and visits from local pet retailers such as Tailchasers, Arlington Dog House and Save-A-Pet.
No pets? No problem. Raise the Woof has fun activities for the whole family like meeting new animals at the petting zoo, taking a pony ride, getting your face painted and flashing a smile in the photo booth!
General admission to the park is free. Some activity fees do apply. For more detailed information on games, contests, and costs of select activities visit www.clearbrook.org/RaiseTheWoof.
