Pets on a picnic

21/04/2015

By KATH GANNAWAY

COLDSTREAM animal welfare group Animal Aid is hosting a picnic for pets … and two-legged picnickers are invited too.
The annual Animal Aid Pet Picnic at Lillydale Lake is a great fund-raiser for the organisation, but importantly, it promises to be a whole lot of fun for all the family, including family pets.
Among a raft of activities are food and pet supply stalls, live entertainment, animal rescue groups, face painting and a jumping castle, lure coursing and agility demonstrations, a raffle and pet photographers.
The 2015 Animal Aid Pet Picnic is on Sunday 26 April from 11am to 3pm.
