The Pet Project is having a calendar release party on Saturday, December 8th.  Lisa Sellman from The Good Dog is hosting and here are the details:

The party is December 8th from 1pm to 5pm. The address is 700 Colorado Avenue, Golden Valley, MN 55416. Bring a can or bag or pet food or treats for the Pet Project who will also be on hand. Rick is coming as Santa Clause so bring your camera for your Christmas cards.  Well socialized dogs are welcome.  The space is large, so feel free to bring Fido.  There will be treats for everyone!
