Doggy Fashion Show
Join Us for International Dog Day at the Taproom!
On Monday, August 26th, we’re celebrating International Dog Day with a special Fashion Show and Adoption Event, hosted by Westfield Animal Shelter! They’re such an amazing part of our community, so from open to close we’ll be donating a portion of every draft pour to help support the work they do every day.
And while we don’t need a good reason to put on a doggy fashion show, this seemed like a pretty good excuse to have a bunch of cute dogs dressed up in cute outfits all around the taproom. Starting at 6pm, all dogs who are in costume can walk our runway and get judged by our panel of experts. Or it might just be John. But either way, we’ll crown a winner and give out some prizes.
Plus, Chappy’s MCE will be on-site all day, serving a special menu of gourmet hot dogs that pair perfectly with our brews. So come down, say hi, and support the amazing folks at the Westfield Animal Shelter, where you can meet the dogs available for adoption and enjoy a fun-filled day celebrating our four-legged friends! 🐶
