MetroMutts hosted Yappy Hour — Puptoberfest at Mill Creek MetroParks Farm on Sept. 10.
Dogs and their owners were welcomed to the farm for fall festivities for both humans and canines.
There were various activities available for those in attendance, including a corn maze, a bonfire and wagon rides. Guests were also given tokens for two craft beers.
Julie Bartolone planned the event and said she wanted to make this year’s Puptoberfest extra special. She said that she appreciate the cooperating weather.
MetroMutts has hosted events similar since it’s start in 2011, often having two of them a year. Bartolone decided to have one, going all out for the celebration.
Bartolone made homemade dog treats and smoothies made of bananas, other fruits and yogurt for the canines to enjoy.
“We have a lot of people, I enjoy them, I enjoy the dogs and I enjoy it kind of being a fall event,” Bartolone said.
Brad Miller came to the Puptoberfest on behalf of Suzie’s Dogs and Drafts, bringing his daughter to help serve food.
Miller said he was happy to have this family-friendly opportunity and give back to the park that him and his family frequent.
“We love having the opportunity to be a part of this and we enjoy the Mill Creek MetroParks on a regular basis,” Miller said.
MetroMutts hosts many family friendly events for both members and nonmembers. For more information, visit http://www.millcreekmetroparks.org/metromutts for schedules and registration info.
