PetFest Flyer
We'll be back at England-Idlewild Park again this year!
PetFest is again in September, on Sunday September 20. England Idlewild Park is located at 5500 Idlewild Rd, Burlington, next to the Boone County Animal Shelter.
We believe PetFest is a great opportunity to showcase adoptable animals, merchandise and humane education information.

Contribute to our Food Court
Every year members donate the items for sale in the food court so we can sell them at reasonable prices. We'll post a list of specific items needed on Facebook closer to the event. These are things like: chips, drinks, hot dogs, buns, condiments, paper towels, ice, baked goods (individually wrapped), etc.
Contact Kim at roushgirl727@gmail.com.
We also understand it if you don't want to shop and would rather contribute money to the expense.
If you'd like toVolunteer
We need many volunteers on PetFest day to direct vehicles to their booth spaces, help set-up/ take-down booths, pass out programs and assist at the food court. Teens and adults welcome. This counts as Service Hours for teens.
