COMMUNITY EVENT: 1st Annual Pet Equipment Swap & Shop

ABOUT THE EVENT:
New this year, Golden Dog Adventure Co. will host the 1st Annual Pet Equipment Swap & Shop. Our Swap & Shop is a great way to give gently used items a new home and keep unwanted items out of landfills. The Swap & Shop will run concurrent with Mary’s Dogs Rescue & Adoption Run for the Dogs 5K Run/2 Mile Walk.

This event takes place on Sunday, May 28th from 8:30 – 11:30am at the Deerfield Fairgrounds in Deerfield, NH. Come participate in the race or walk, and visit vendor booths and Swap & Shop tables. Leashed dogs are welcomed. All race day registration information can be found on Mary’s Dogs website. Free race t-shirts provided to those who register by May 4th.
