Barks & Brew Fiesta - September 3 - Eugene, OR

By September, you might be thinking that the summer fun is winding down, but think again! There is still a chance for that one last hurrah before turning off the party lights for the season. Bring all your well-behaved dog friends (not just Greyhounds) to the 5th Street Public Market from 1-3 pm for the 1st Annual Barks & Brews Fiesta, an afternoon
of food, beer, canine games and contests, and a raffle. This festive event is a chance to raise money for Greyhound adoption efforts while enjoying good food, friends, and a little fun. All proceeds benefit Greyhound Pet Adoption Northwest.

Admission is $12, with delicious Mexican hors d’oeuvres provided by El Pato Cafe, and beer from Lagunitas Brewing Company. In honor of the football season opener, dress yourself and your dog in your best Duck Spirit outfit for the Costume Contest. Enter your dog in the Hotdog Bobbing contest, or come down to meet some adoptable retired racing Greyhounds.

For more information or to pre-register, call Curious Canine Boutique at 541-343-5394 or find us on Facebook. Pre-registration is recommended. Please spread the word to any friends you know who might like to come, so we can get a big turnout for this fun and festive fundraiser!
