This weekend has gone to the dogs in Asheville!
On Saturday, Sept. 21 (yes, I am biased about this one) the Blue Ridge Parkway and the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area will host Play Along the Parkway Day as part of the parkway Heritage Weekend.
I will meet with people and their dogs at 9 a.m. on Saturday for a short hike along the Mountains-to-Sea Trail, starting at the Parkway Visitor Center. This is the building at Milepost 384, near the intersection with U.S. 74 A (it’s 2 miles south of the Folk Art Center).
This is free! And the Asheville Humane Society’s Hiking Hounds will be there, too, so you can meet a potential new family member! Click here for today’s story:
Then on Sunday, Sept. 22, is the second annual Dog Day Afternoon Festival at Carrier Park on Amboy Road in Asheville to celebrate all things canine, and support local dog rescue organizations.
The Asheville Humane Society and Brother Wolf Animal Rescue will be in attendance with large adoption areas showcasing dogs ready for adoption in hopes of matching these would-be pets with a loving foster or forever home.
The event starts at 11:30
