Creasey Mahan’s “Woofstock” Pet Day & Butterfly Day

THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED

This event is open to the community and helps support local pet rescue organizations.  Creasey Mahan is dog-friendly, so as usual, bring your furry friend along with your family!  While you are there, enter your dog in one of the many different categories in the Mutt Strut competition.  This fun and friendly competition has categories like “Best Kisser,” “Best Costumed Dog,” and “Cutest Puppy.”  Even if you’re not in the Mutt Strut, it is so fun to watch and cheer for your favorite pup!

Along with the Pet part to the day, there is also the Butterfly part!  Experts will be present to show how to properly catch and release butterflies around the nature preserve.  Kids and adults enjoy learning interesting facts about the butterflies.  You can also learn more about butterflies inside the air-conditioned Nature Center.

There are several booths set up at the event, many geared toward our pet friends.  Idlewild Butterfly Farm will have a booth this year.  You can also meet adorable cats and dogs looking for homes.  Food, sweet treats, inflatables, crafts and face painting are also available.  Check their Facebook event for a schedule of contests.
