Classic cars will be the new feature at the 5th ANIMAL DOG FEST & BAZAAR Sunday, MAY 17.

Among the cars exhibited by local owners will be a 1984 R5 Turbo Renault, a 1933 Packard Phaeton and two Aston Martins from Allen Richards and Upperville Auto Repairs.

Animal Rescue Fund (ARF) announced today that the 5th Annual Dog Fest & Bazaar fundraising event will take place this May 17, 2015 at Fox Hall Farm in Delaplane, Virginia.

Dog Fest is a fun filled day of everything animal! Families and their canine companions can have a day out in the country for a wonderful cause. Dog walks, dog costume competitions, face painting and pony rides are just a few of the variety of family activities.

Adults can enjoy classic car exhibits, a bazaar, silent auction and of course, beer, wine and a great BBQ lunch. This year, musical entertainment for the event will feature well-known DC band "Blame it on Jane." In addition to all the fun, the new barn at Fox Hall Farm will showcase local area shelters and animal rescue service organizations with booths, information and adoptable pets.

"We are so excited about this year's event," stated ARF Founder Ursula Landsrath. "Last year, we had over 200 adults, children and pets supporting our efforts to help those who dedicate their lives to animals in need. With the new barn, we hope to expand our efforts to connect people and pets. After all, that is why we started! This year, we hope to double the fun and double our impact to support local animal shelters and animal rescue service organizations. It is all about the animals and people who serve them."

The event will take place on Sunday May 17, 2015, from noon to 4:00pm, rain or shine. Animal photographer Kathy Durand will be on hand to photograph your animals.
