MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – Grab your Golden and get ready to run, fetch and fly! Golden Fest returns Saturday, November 14, from noon to 3pm at Belle Shain Kennels & Farm in Fairhope. The Golden Retriever–only celebration features Fast CAT sprints, dock diving, fetch, AKC fun events and a dance-and-tricks showcase, plus a taco bar from Dragonfly Foodbar and sweet treats from Sweet Talkin’ Bakery. For the dogs, Belle Shain Canine Kitchen will have its small-batch, oven-baked dog treats, which are also available online at belleshaincaninekitchen.com. Guests are welcome to come with or without a dog.
Golden Fest also raises money for the Zeke Cancer Research Fund at the Golden Retriever Foundation. According to the Morris Animal Foundation’s Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, cancer causes the majority of deaths in Goldens. Charitable gifts and sponsorships go to Project Retrieving Hope, a 501(c)(3), which makes a grant to the Zeke fund.
