Fair Lawn Pet Walk And Fair Returns Saturday

The 3rd annual Pet Walk and Fair presented by Community Bank of Bergen County and Inserra ShopRite is Saturday from 11 am to 2 pm. Stroll along the sidewalk on River Road from Berdan and Fair Lawn Avenues with your pet to meet with vendors, and neighborhood business owners, as well as other pets and their families.

Among the vendors, you can expect to visit with our featured participants: Bergen County Protect and Rescue Foundation (http://bcrescues.org/) with available pets for adoptions and learn about Pony Power Therapies (http://ponypowernj.org/), a non-profit organization giving special needs children and adults a unique opportunity to ride and care for horses. Pony Power Therapies was recently featured on ABC 7 news highlighting their association with HackensackUMC pediatric patients and families and the benefits of Pony Power Therapies.

The River Road Corporation board announces with appreciation the event contributors: Dance Designs and Camp Bow Wow. Dance Designs (23-38 River Road) students will provide exciting dance demonstrations and live DJ in front of their studio during the event. Visit Camp Bow Wow at their booth and learn about pet services they provide at their Midland Park and Elmwood Park locations.

Equally special is the return of Juggles the clown who will be entertaining and taking request for creative balloon sculptures from the youngsters. His colorful presence at his sponsor table, the Empress Diner, will not be hard to find along the event route! Many thanks to River Road’s Empress Diner for bringing Juggles back! Other River Road district businesses are planning surprise opportunities for fun.

You can also expect to hear live music from the popular Billy Joe Sans Band, who will be entertaining us with plenty of upbeat swing and boogie woogie. Nail painting and other special treatments for your pet will be provided at My Best Friend Grooming Salon (12-50 River Road) during the event hours.

In the event that you do not have a pet, but are interested in adding a new member to your family by giving one a forever home, our visiting shelters and rescue groups will be happy to help and may even have some adoptable pets for you to meet!

Rain date is Saturday, September 24.
