It’s Dog Day at the Roslindale Village Main Street Farmers’ Market this Saturday, Sept. 24. Dog Day was a big hit last year and celebrates our best friends—the four legged kind! The farmers’ market is a favorite spot of dogs every week, but this week we’ll have special vendors dedicated to dogs, as well as a showcase of Roslindale’s furriest in the Dog Parade, as well as a blessing of the dogs by members of Roslindale’s faith communities.
Lisa DiPietro from Pet Cabaret, Roslindale’s favorite pet supply and food store will emcee the dog parade, provide dog treat samples and will demonstrate dog training techniques. The dog parade kicks off at 10:30 AM with commentary by Lisa. The blessing of the dogs will be at 10:45 AM by members of Roslindale’s faith community including Rev. Oh of Bethany Methodist Church and Father Kelly from Sacred Heart Church. All dogs participating need to be friendly, on leashes and well-behaved.
Other vendors participating in Dog Day include: Dee Gray offering crafts for and about your furry friends, Woof-It! Pet Care will have information about their local pet-sitting service, Sullivan’s Pharmacy will have Rx and compounds for dogs, Strut Your Pup, a dog walking and pet-sitting service will be on hand and Lizz Paolini, photographer will snap shots of you and your dog and provide information about her photography services.
