Central Bark's 3rd Annual Fido Fest
Central Bark Doggy Day Care, a pioneer of the doggy day care industry
and creator of the “UnKennel” concept, presents
the 3rd Annual Fido Fest,
Saturday, June 14, 2014; 11 am to 4 pm in
Hart Park and Rotary Pavilion in Wauwatosa, located at 7300 Chestnut Street. Central Bark’s
Fido Fest is a hugely successful event with thousands of two-legged and
four-legged attendees each year and has been quoted by past attendees as “the areas’
best dog event yet!” Fido Fest 2014 is a dog-friendly event that is free and
open to the public.
New to Fido Fest 2014, will be the Friday Night VIP (Very Important Pooch!) party on Friday, June 13th from 6pm – 9pm at Hart Park. This kick-off party will feature local area
rescue organizations, adoptable dog showcase, lure coursing and the Brew City
Bully Club’s annual Color Crawl, a glow-in-the-dark walk for people and their
dogs! Now you can enjoy two days of Fido Fest fun!
Fido Fest 2014’s beneficiary is The
Barkley Forever
Friend Program, whose goal is to
support local rescues and dogs in need through foster care, adoption, and
outreach efforts. The Barkley’s Forever
Friend program is a 501(c) (3) pending non-profit organization, which is
committed to improving the lives of dogs in need by helping match them with
their forever friend. Last year, Fido Fest raised 17,000 for area animals
in need!
