For participants in the 26th Annual Walk for Paws, a simple walk in the park will help save animals\u2019 lives, organizers from the Chester County SPCA said.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s event will combine the traditional walk with a family-friendly festival.\u00a0It will be held on Sunday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Hibernia Park, and all proceeds go to animals, programs and services at the Chester County SPCA, an independent, nonprofit that relies on donations.<\/p>\n
Activities will include psychic readings with your pet, a scavenger hunt along the walk, a show by kids \u2018comedian The Great Holtzie, a commemorative pet photo at the Pooch Smooch booth, canine contests, a search and rescue demonstration, low-cost micro-chipping and emergency veterinary care by Exton Vet, free nail trimming, face-painting, and more. A selection of adoptable animals will also be available.<\/p>\n
Participants \u2013 all will receive a free t-shirt – can register online or in person starting at 10 a.m. on Sunday. Supporters are encouraged to form teams. Prizes will be awarded to the top individual fund-raiser, the top fund-raising team, and the top\u00a0youth fund-raiser.<\/p>\n
