ABOUT THE EVENT:
Tails is Town is a brand new event that is the result of a partnership between WTZQ’s well-loved Barq in the Parq where pets of all kinds and their people can share some quality time together and give back to the local organizations that contribute to our community’s animal welfare.
Staged in the Historic Seventh Avenue District along Maple Street and adjacent to the historic train depot in downtown Hendersonville, Tails in Town, will offer a unique blend of activities that target learning, shopping, eating and gathering with furry friends. Unlike anything currently offered in Henderson County, the day will kick off with a Strut Your Mutt 5k and follow with a plethora of pooches and a flurry of furry action.
It’s the ultimate day out for Dog Lovers of all ages and a once a year opportunity to celebrate the companionship, unconditional love and joy that our furry friends bring to our lives. Our Dogs are family and love us unconditionally. So if you love them as much as we do then join us to celebrate, connect and learn more about our Best Friends with tails.
Join CANVAS ArtSpace at Tails in Town to see a live Pet Portrait Demo! CANVAS portrait artist, Joel Edwards, will be sharing his process for creating realist and captivating custom oil paintings. An array of portraits will be available for viewing, and we will be offering special discounts for new commissions. These make excellent Christmas presents (and no, it's not to early to think about! Original Oil Paintings take time and there's already a waitlist.) Discounts only available at Tails in Town!
WHEN: Saturday, July 28, 8 AM - 2 PM
WHERE: Historic Depot on Maple Street in Downtown Hendersonville's 7th Avenue District
