Welcome back to Talking Tails!
We are so excited that spring has arrived. We can finally get out and about! Speaking of “stepping out,” the Charlotte area has a number of great dog-related events. Our family is planning on attending a number of festivals in April. Pick one of the following for a great time! Our mom is raffling off a basket of goodies at each festival, we would love to keep the baskets for ourselves!
- Paws in the Park is scheduled for Saturday, April 2, from 10am-2pm at Pineville Lake Park. All dogs are encouraged to participate in the Dog Walk at noon. Additionally, the event will feature over 150 vendors, demonstrations, dog rescue groups, dogs available for adoption, food trucks, and a kid-friendly playground. Caution! Blind Driver, one of Charlotte’s favorite local bands, will be performing. For more information, see http://charlotte.eventful.com/events/paws-park-/E0-001-090247917-2.
- Pet Palooza Festival and Walk for the Animals (2K) is planned for Saturday, April 9, from 10am-3pm at Independence Park. The event offers a vendor fair (over 100 local organizations and businesses), pet CPR demonstrations, pet microchipping, pet adoption, an agility ring, dog contests, food trucks, a beer garden, and live music. Proceeds help the Humane Society of Charlotte provide critical services to over 20,000 homeless and at-need pets annually.

- Bark in the Park Top Dog Festival is scheduled for Saturday, April 30, from 10am-4pm at Historic Rural Hill in Huntersville. The festival is presented by Purina and Harris Teeter and is hosted by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation. It promises to be a fun-filled day of performances, contests, vendors, and food.

With all these great events, you can’t go wrong! Our family will be attending these festivals and we hope to see you there!
Talk to you soon.
