Four-legged friends are always welcome at the Hatchie Fall Fest. The Brownsville-Haywood County Humane Society has planned two events just for our animal friends on Saturday, October 17.

The Pet Show will begin at 10 a.m. in the grassy area of the First United Methodist Church at the entrance to the Day School. The show is open to all pets: furry, fuzzy, scaled, prickly or leathery. Get them dressed-up, decorated and costumed for this favorite event.

“We want everyone to come away a winner,” event coordinator Alice Nunn said, “and we’ll be awarding lots of prizes.”

Immediately following the Pet Show will be the Blessing of the Pets. An annual service that has been a big hit with pet owners for years. Rev. Sammy Tillman will perform the ceremony. You don’t have to enter the pet show to receive the blessing.

There are no fees for these events, but humane society members hope you will make a donation to help continue the work of the Humane Society in Haywood County.

For more information, contact Alice Nunn at 772-0951, or any humane society member.
