DOGDADDY FEST 2010 PRESS RELEASE

GUEST LECTURER – Saturday October 2nd

DogDaddy Fest is very pleased to announce that Bucks County PA’s own Dr. Deva Khalsa will be a guest lecturer and hold a book signing for her latest book, ‘Dr. Khalsa’s Natural Dog’ (Bowtie Press, 2009), a book best described as a ‘holistic bible’ for dog owners.

DOGDADDY DOG FEST proposes to bring together dog-related experts, fun events, product vendors, service providers, rescues, food and festivities for a day of learning, celebration and dog-gone fun! A portion of the proceeds will benefit local rescues and shelters. The event takes place outdoors with booths, a main stage, large tents in case of inclement weather, dog demonstration areas, seminars, workshops, ‘dogcams’ throughout the festival broadcast live via the internet – worldwide – and dog-related activities that tie into the local shops on both sides of the river.

FOR THE BENEFIT OF LOCAL SHELTERS AND RESCUES:
Some of the proceeds generated at DogDaddy Fest will go to local shelters and rescues.
