Huge shoutout to our sponsors: Varnish, Wilson Center of Cape Fear Community College, and Cugino Forno for helping make this celebration happen!

A quick heads up: while we LOVE the pups, this event gets extremely crowded and it’s expected to be a hot day, so this won’t be the most pet-friendly event for your furry friends 🐾
