DOGTOBER FEST

It's October, which means that it's DogTober Fest in Nashville. DogTober Fest is a month long event celebrating all things 4 legged. Meet local vendors and learn about how they can service you and your pets. Here's a list of upcoming events:



SATURDAY OCTOBER 4TH
THE BEST CALENDAR EVER: Bring your dog to DogTober Fest to have your dog primped, pampered and polished before having their photo taken by photographer extraordinaire, Gregory Byerline. We are looking for 50 dogs for our calendar that will help us to raise monies (look to the right to learn more about that). Sign up and photographs taken from 10 am to 4pm at ArtHouse Gardens (1108 B Woodland Street). Plenty of vendors on hand today to make your dog look like a winner!

DETAILS:
Let your dogs have their day, their month... okay, perhaps the whole year just by sitting for a photo from Gregory Byerline photography. Photos automatically entered into our first East Nashville Doggie Calendar Competition. Cost details coming soon.

SWEET 16th Bakery: The first 50 dogs get doggie bags with doggie biscuits, created by and sponsored by Sweet 16th Bakery --- yum!

SPEED BREED: Quick Doggie sketches by Anthony Billups. Don't forget to leave a tip because proceeds will benefit EastCAN.

In the Green Room: Live Music starting at 12pm in Arthouse Garden’s Green Room, sponsored by East Side Music Mercantile. Scott and the gang have cooked up some amazing music this saturday (and every saturday in October) in the Green Room of ArtHouse Gardens. Line up will be broadcast soon!
