Barks & Boos

Get ready for a spooktacular time at our pet-friendly event happening on Sun, Oct 25, 2026 at The Ameswell Hotel.

Barks & Boos is back — and this year, we're bringing the whole pack. Join us for a day filled with fun for the whole family, furry members included. Shop from our local vendor market, enjoy delicious treats, and enter your pup in our fan-favorite dog costume contest, where a panel of local community judges will crown three lucky winners.

We're also thrilled to welcome Pets in Need on-site with adoptable dogs of all ages, including some wonderful older pups looking for their perfect match. Come ready to shop, maybe leave with a new best friend!
