Tailwaggers
When you get greeted by your dog at the door, you always look at their tail, right? You do it to see just how fast it's wagging. Well, we have the perfect event for you and your dog that will surely make that tail wag! It’s called Tailwaggers, and all doggies are welcomed! You can play games, get your face painted, and shop from some great vendors. Bob Quinn of Rivers Edge Canine does scent detection demos at the event, so maybe your dog can help you find that shirt you lost last summer? Located at Avantis Dome, admission is free.

Whiskers, Wags, & A Food Truck
What fun is Halloween without dressing up, dressing your kids up, and the most fun, dressing your dog up? Halloween is meant to be celebrated with lots of food, that’s why Nacho Mama does an annual lunch event right before Halloween and donates a portion of her sales to Tazewell Animal Protective Society shelter. The event itself takes place there, and will offer lots of goodies for you and your dog, so dress up the family and come check it out! Admission is free, but bring your rainy day change because there are plenty of things to spend some money on.24
