Chester Dog Fair 2019

September 17, 2019

If there is one pet event in Connecticut you CANNOT miss every year is the Chester Dog Fair! The Chester Dog Fair 2019 was a fun, tail-wagging, wet-noses-filled weekend. From food trucks, a lure course, a microchip clinic, raffles and silent auctions to a Doggie Olympics, Canine Good Citizenship Test, great live music, community vendors, and a Beer & Wine Tent, the Chester Dog Fair had something for everyone.

Event Hosted by Homeward Bound CT

The AMAZING Homeward Bound CT team puts up a great show every year at the Chester Dog Fair. Like years past, the 2019 Chester Dog Fair was well-attended and enjoyable.

Here at Shoreline Happy Paws, we attended the event as a team for the first time ever this week. It was a true honor to be a Silver Sponsor. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting fellow Connecticut pet lovers and their families.
