B.A.R.K. Rescue's Paw Festival - Paws on Parade 2009 Event

Many animals are born on the streets, where basic survival is a struggle. Others live their lives in commercial breeding facilities and never know a blanket, a kind touch, or a day without pain. Some animals are dumped, simply because they are no longer wanted. All animals deserve love and a good home.

On Saturday May 30, 2009 dog owners and their pooches will strut their stuff around the walking trail during the second annual B.A.R.K. Paw Festival - Paws on Parade at Melvin Price Memorial Park in Swansea, IL between the hours of 10am 2pm to raise funds for their not so fortunate furry friends in the Metro East.




There will be lots of activities for you and your canine to enjoy: from the Dog Pledge Walk Paws on Parade, Pet Contests, Pet Photographer, Live DJ, Pet Caricaturist, Games and Prizes, Pet Contests, Food and Drink, over Fifty Vendors, Silent Auction, Raffles and much more!

To help make Paw Festival Paws on Parade, the largest in the Metro East, register for the Walk in one of three ways; the day of the event at Pavilion #3($25); pre-register ($20) online at www.pawfestival.com; or pre-register in person at Petsmart in Belleville on the third Saturday of the month or at Petco in Olivette, MO on the first Saturday of the month; or call 618-616-WOOF. Registration includes a free Rally to Rescue T-shirt and gift certificate for a free dog toy for the first 150 vendors.

All proceeds from Paw Festival-Paws on Parade will go to Belleville Area Rescue of K-9s (B.A.R.K.) so they may continue their work to rescue animals, place them in foster homes and find permanent, loving families.
