Sunday, May 3, from noon to 5pm, Snickers and I will be participating in the 30th Annual Pet Fair hosted by Trailside Nature and Science Center. This will be our second year participating with NYC Shiba Rescue, helping to educate the public about purebred rescue and responsible dog ownership.
About the Fair
Visitors can enjoy free face painting and a petting zoo, numerous educational table displays focusing on proper pet care and shopping for pet-related products. Many pet rescue organizations will also be on hand with animals available for adoption. Demonstrations during the afternoon include sled dogs, flyball dog clubs, Frisbee disc dogs, lure coursing, K-9 search and rescue and much more! Admission to the Pet Fair is $3 per person with children six years old and younger admitted free of charge. Children’s games, pony rides and refreshments will be available for an additional fee.
For more information on scheduled demonstrations and exhibitors, please call 908-789-3670 or visit www.ucnj.org/trailside. Trailside Nature and Science Center is located at 452 New Providence Road in Mountainside and is a service of the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders.
The weather was terrible for an outdoor event today – rainy and chilly – so some vendors didn’t show up and not many people attended unfortunately. We talked to some great folks though and Zennia possibly recruited a new foster home for the rescue!
