Beaglefest

Join us at BREW's annual fundraising event! BREW (Beagle Rescue, Education, and Welfare) is a beagle rescue and Beaglefest brings together over 100 beagles and their owners for a day of fun and games.

Bring your beagles (and "honorary beagles"), some lawn chairs, a sense of humor, and a plan to have a great time.

Please be sure to register in advance on BREW's website here: http://www.brewbeagles.org/events/2012-beaglefest/.

Here are the details:

• Beaglefest takes place in a completely fenced-in area so your beagle is super safe!
• There will be a games and contests for the beagles.
• There will be a bake sale tent full of baked goodies for sale.
• Chris Flick, a local graphic artist and cartoonist, will be there to draw caricatures of you and your beagle. All drawings will be on a 9x12 Bristol board. Here's what he's offering:
  -Pencil drawing: $10
  -Ink drawing (b&w): $15
  -B&W ink with color highlights: $20
  -Detailed colored art: $30 - this may require having to mail the finished product to you because of time constraints at the event.
  Chris accepts all forms of credit cards and cash.
• There will be a sales table with incredible items including BREW t-shirts and lots of handcrafted things.
• All beagles, adopted from BREW or not, are welcome. All other canines will be made "honorary beagles" for the day.
• Lunch is available from a local food truck.
• Attendance, payable at the door, is $10 per dog and both beagles and honorary beagles are welcome. They do ask that all dogs be current on shots and be of pleasant personality.

Things to know:

• Please bring lawn chairs or plastic tarps, and even a sun umbrella. Towels for your beagle is a good idea too.
• Sunscreen has been needed in the past.
• It can get muddy so please wear shoes and clothes that can get muddy.
• Parking: If you're coming from the east, down Route 50 west, normally you would turn left, do a u-turn, and then turn in to Club Pet. This year, when you turn left, don't do the u-turn, instead go straight across Route 50 into a gravel parking lot near Dover Saddlery. Park on the right side of the lot first. There will be parking cones to guide you. DO NOT pull in to Club Pet. DO NOT park on Route 50 - it is too dangerous for both human and canine attendees.
