A Town-wide Celebration of Pets
Every year since 2016, on the first Sunday of October, we host the annual Celebration of Pets in the Verona Town Hall Square. This is a day to honor and celebrate our pets by recognizing their importance in our lives and the joy they bring us each day.
We have music, food, pet-orientated activities and vendors, animal shelters, fostering groups, crafts-persons who create things for and about pets, pet blessings, activities for kids (including face-painting and a bouncy house) and a Pet Parade with prizes in several categories. If you have a pet or love all God's creatures, join us!
The event is FREE and takes place rain or shine. All are welcome - with or without a pet!
If you would like to a table (there is no fee), email Catherine Tamasik or complete the online form via Word document or pdf or editable pdf.
