“We are delighted to see this event continue this year after the Kiernan family chose to leave their well-known Dearborn restaurant. Our friends down the road at Oakwood Bar & Grille generously offered their location to host Hogs 4 Dogs, so the party and fundraising can go on. The evening is always a big hit with motorcycle fans, neighbors, friends, anyone ready to enjoy a fun summer evening out.” commented Elaine Greene, Executive Director of the Friends For the Dearborn Animal Shelter.

Attendees will enjoy live music by the Reefermen, can participate in a tin can auction, raffles and a chance to win cool door prizes. Tickets are only $25 each and include, grilled burgers and hot dogs (veggie-burger versions too), soft beverages, and draft beer.
