FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Westfield, IN (September 19, 2024) — Westfield Welcome is excited to announce that Barktoberfest, presented by Community First Bank and Woof Gang Bakery and Grooming, will return to Asa Bales Park (205 W. Hoover Street) on Saturday, October 5, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Bring your furry friend for a fantastic dog-themed afternoon. Let your pup take on the agility course and shop the pet-related vendors at the Mutt Mart. The pet costume contests run at 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., and 1:30 p.m. You can take advantage of professional pet portraits and caricatures and adopt adorable pets from the Humane Society of Hamilton County booth. The first 250 Community First Bank tent visitors will get a complimentary wag bag filled with coupons and other treats.

The Humane Society will collect items frequently needed in the shelter, such as Easy Cheese, canned dog and cat food, 55-gallon trash bags, and plush dog toys. These donations will help ensure the shelter's daily operations. Donating earns attendees a raffle ticket to win one of three gift baskets worth over $100 each. Raffle tickets from the Humane Society will also be available for $5 per ticket. Baskets will be raffled off at 12 p.m., 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. (IGC# 011664).

Tickets are $10 per person, and children ages 10 and under are free. Dogs do not need a separate ticket.
