Get into the holiday spirit with your furry friend at the annual dog-friendly market hosted by K9Crusaders on Saturday November 18th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Columbus Community Centre in Cobourg. Free parking is available on site and well-mannered dogs are welcome, but must be on a leash.
Events Coordinator Helen Firing shared some details.
Treat yourself and your pup with home-baked goodies and festive biscuit wreaths.
Explore the “Holiday Dog” Christmas table, find stylish accessories at the “Doggy Fashion Outlet,” and savor our special “Dog Walker’s Blend” coffee.
According to Helen, there’ll be something for everyone.
Saturday’s event will feature local vendors, including JT Crafts, Mr D’s Sweets, Josie and Crew, K9 Pantry, Mack’s Mugs, and Pawsome Ties, offer unique gifts.
Enjoy pet photography by Dorothy Puddester and nail trims by Katrina Evans, supporting the rescue’s care efforts. Firing says, don’t forget to bring your four-legged friends.
Plan to join in on the festive experience and help support K9Crusaders’ mission.
“Our Holiday Market presents dog lovers from near and far the unique opportunity to do their holiday shopping and enjoy a festive experience with their dogs,” says Events Coordinator, Helen Firing. “Because we are a one hundred percent volunteer run organization, we rely heavily on events such as our Holiday Market to raise funds to support the care of our rescued dogs while they wait to find their forever homes. Our thanks to all the vendors who are joining us, and who have generously donated prizes for the event.”
Volunteers will be on hand to share information about rescue involvement, fostering, and adoption.
“Our annual Holiday Market event truly makes the season the most wonderful time of the year for our rescue, for local businesses, for pet parents, and of course, for dogs looking for their forever homes,” says Jodi Lane, K9Crusaders’ founder, “With so many great things packed into this dog friendly event, it is definitely one to mark on your calendar!”
