The Festival of Fur is noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 31 at Genesee Feeds and Needs, located at 3860 W. Main St. Road in the Town of Batavia. (Across the street from the animal shelter.)
It is a good time for pet people, former residents, new residents, supporters of the Genesee County Animal Shelter and families to get together and talk pets, have some BBQ chicken and all the fixins (sold until sold out), get Fido microchipped, etc.
The Amazing Kayden will demonstrate his prowess catching freestyle discs. Microchipping dogs and cats is available for $30. There will be fun raffles and a 50/50 drawing.
If you'd like a caricature of your pet, bring a photo. In addition to Genesee Feeds, the event is sponsored by Dave's Ice Cream, which is giving away free doggie ice cream cups (only one per pooch!). There will also be T-shirts for sale.
This event takes place rain or shine. Come on over with Rover! All proceeds benefit Volunteers for Animals.
