OLD LYME — On Saturday, Oct. 4, Old Lyme Animal Control hosts its annual PAWtoberfest fundraiser from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Machnik Drive animal shelter.
The event includes music from The Zephyr Band, tasty offerings from the Lyme-Old Lyme Lions Club food tent, tables hosted by numerous local vendors and raffles galore. There will also be games and prizes for children, as well as face-painting.
Application forms to adopt some of the dogs recently rescued from a hoarding situation will be available at the event.
Dogs are invited to attend the event, which benefits not only the Old Lyme Animal Shelter but also the Presents for Paws nonprofit organization, which distributes pet food and supplies to animal shelters across the state.
