2nd Annual Dog Days of Summer

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM
Crest Hill Branch

Event Details

The Crest Hill Branch is going to the dogs! We will use our extensive outdoor yard to feature a variety of rescue organizations, veterinary services, and small business retailers, as well as Library-related activities like  a photo booth, cooling stations, doggie paw print craft, mini agility course, and more to celebrate National Dog Day, which is held annually on August 26th. Plus, new this year, we will have costume contests and parade for dogs and their humans! 

That's right - you can bring your dog to the Library on Dog Days of Summer! And, who knows, if you don’t already have a dog, you just might go home with your new best friend.
 
PetSmart, Joliet has generously donated "doggie swag bags" to the first 200 attendees! There will also be raffles where you have the chance to win a variety of dog-related prizes!
