no dogs allowed 🙁

  We know!!! We’re bummed too but BUT dogs, cats, and other small animals are not allowed at HarvestFest or any other large public event within city limits. The city ordinance is for the safety of all including your dogs! AND while we don’t make the rules, we totally understand the city’s ordinance. Events like HarvestFest are loud and crowded and can be stressful  for a dog.
