2021 Dog Days of Summer Festival
Raises $8,250 For Local Charities
Annette Babich and Mal Meehan are pleased to announce that the Second Dog Days of Summer Festival held on the grounds of Inn the Doghouse guesthouse, on September 18th, raised $8,250 for their benefactors; Doggone Happy Animal Rescue, Milton Community Food Pantry and the Milton Fire Department. Each charity received a check for $2,750.
Doggone Happy Animal Rescue adopted out 10 dogs; all the dogs who were at the festival were adopted out. We held a food drive leading up to the festival for the Milton Community Food Pantry and collected approximately 650 lbs of food which amounts to $900 worth of groceries.
We would like to thank Thomas Quass and Kristy Rogers of the Town of Milton for their gracious guidance and support of our second event. We would also like to thank the Mayor and Town Council for their support in closing Sand Street. And of course, we would like to thank all our amazing sponsors, hard-working volunteers and generous attendees, it was a great day with an impressive turn-out and we look forward to seeing everyone again in 2023.
