We have also advertised the wish/ needs list of the rescue as well for those who would like to donate items directly to them.” Warfel said the event promises to be a fun summer day out. “There is free parking and
free admission as well as the free entertainment,” she said. “People are more than welcome to bring a blanket and enjoy the day in the grass watching the band. … There will be some games and surprises throughout the event that for the meantime will remain a secret!” Dogs may attend the event with their owners, but dogs must be leashed, cleaned up after and well-behaved. If it rains, the event will be rescheduled with the rain date to be announced.
