DAWS Fall Fest - $10/family: Bounce, Games, Food, Portraits by ShawnaLee

On Saturday, October 17, 2015, DAWS will be hosting its first-ever Fall Fest! This kid-oriented event is designed to bring families together with furry friends for education and fun. The event focuses on educating kids (and their parents) about the many aspects of caring for a dog or cat as a pet. While the focus is on education, the event will be filled with fun activities that will make it a great day for the whole family. There will be games, a bounce house, and refreshments.

Portraits by ShawnaLee will be there. ShawnaLee is DAWS greeting room mural artist, and as a DAWS partner, 10% of your order goes back to DAWS. ShawnaLee specializes in portraits of children and pets in pencils, charcoals and oils. Bring your photos to share with her, or have photos taken at the event! Order now for GIFTS!

Additionally, families will have the opportunity to meet some of our adorable, adoptable animals, and tour parts of our shelter,including the greeting room featuring the handpainted mural by ShawnaLee.
