We will be selling GOLDEN RESCUE merchandise, handing out brochures to Festival-goers, answering questions about what we do and how we rescue and re-home our beautiful Goldens. Bring a hat and sunscreen as we'll be right near the water. Also, remember water for your Golden buddy! When your shift is over, enjoy the Dock and Disc Shows and the various dog breed events. All vendors are doggie-related and provide fantastic value. There are picnic tables available in certain areas of the Park. Hot and Cold Refreshments are available from various vendors. Trenton is home to Canada's largest Air Base and the National Air Museum has free admission as well. Come and make a day of it!
