Dog Daze of Summer Aug. 13 at Northbrook Farmers Market!

A fun-filled celebration of summer daze and doggies as we support a great cause, Wednesday, Aug. 13 at Northbrook Farmers Market

At just 4 months old, Pepi makes his first trip to Northbrook Farmers Market to enjoy all the sights and smells.

Let’s Make It a Paw-Some Day!
Featuring a collection drive for Border Tails Rescue, a local no-kill nonprofit animal shelter.
Dress your pooch in a cute hat/bow (no full-body costumes – too hot!), bring doggie supplies to
donate, and enjoy games for your furry friend.

For humans we'll have music, games, refreshing lemonade, face painting, your questions answered by a professional dog trainer, and a raffle worth $100 of market goodies – all free!

Countryside Day School students will hand out 100 tote bags in the morning, so get here early if you can. Also, Truckie, the mascot from Two Men and a Truck, will visit and hand out cool swag.
