DRACUT, MA SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2011
Great weather welcomed the 2011 Dracut Old Home Day, Saturday, September 10th, at the Dracut High School campus, Lakeview Avenue, Dracut. The annual outdoor, rain-or-shine community event hosts everything from the Dracut Fire Department to local politicians to local crafts people and businesses. Featuring hot dogs, burgers, lemonade, kettle corn and fried dough, the event draws thousands of locals looking for a fun, family event where kids are king! The Wignall Animal Hospital booth was no exception! The hospital staff were there in full Wignall attire providing free face painting and balloon animals to kids of all ages; creating unique personalized magnets with photos taken in the “Wignall Dog House” photo booth; and distributing free bags of dog treats to dog owners. Always willing to answer challenging pet questions or give guidance on the latest flea or tick infestation, the staff met hundreds of children and adults at Dracut Old Home Day for the last of the summertime fun.
Other highlights of this year’s booth were two border collies belonging to dog trainer, Dave Cameron, of Cameron Canine Consulting (Dracut, MA) who were living, breathing examples of the best in well behaved dogs. The dogs, Fenris and Shaw, later entertained and wowed spectators with an agility course demonstration. Truly talented trainer (Dave) and dogs! Also in the booth for ooo’s and ahhh’s was Herman, the skink (lizard), who impressed hundreds of visitors with his calm demeanor, likability and willingness to be pet. HUNDREDS of times!
We are already planning our booth for Dracut Old Home Day 2012, where there will be new surprises! Mark your calendar for next September and be sure to come see us.
