Yappy Hour is one of our very favorite yearly events. An event with beer, food, and dogs? What can be better?! Our first ever Yappy Hour was at Scioto Audubon Metro Park, and last year we decided to expand to some of our other parks. This year, we are kicking off the summer at Walnut Woods.
The purpose of Yappy Hour (besides having a GREAT time) is to introduce dog owners to some of the awesome resources that are offered at the Metro Parks. Dog parks are a great way for mans best friend to get out and get some exercise, leading to happy, healthy dogs. Not only that, but it gives dog owners a chance to let their dogs run off leash in a safe environment.
Walnut Woods features two areas, one for big dogs, and one for small! The big dog area features a swimming hole where your pups can take a dip and splash around on hot summer days. Both dog parks offer plenty of shade and lots of open space to run. Both of these areas are fenced in so that the dogs are safely contained.
As always, we invited a food truck and a local brewery to help us out with Yappy Hour. Seventh Son has been our tried-and-true favorite brewery for Yappy Hour, and provided us with some tasty beers to help really start off the summer right. The Explorers Club also came by to provide some great food for the evening! Both of our vendors have always been excellent additions to our favorite yearly fundraiser!
Catch us on September 12 at Scioto Audubon for our next Yappy Hour, kicking off Sciotofest!
