The Edward McKay’s in Raleigh is Going to the Dogs!

Posted in Uncategorized at 1:41 pm by Administrator

Well, actually, the dogs are coming HERE… we’re proud to be sponsoring two rescue events over the next two months.

On October 18 from 11am - 3pm, come visit some lovely people and lovely animals! The great folks at NCschnauzers.org are helping us put on an event to help connect rescue schnauzers and great homes. Gourmutts Bakery will be providing a doggie cake — all you need to bring is love.

Schnauzers not your style? Check us out on Saturday, November 15th from 12-3 for the NC Rottweiler Rescue Adoption Event. Gourmutts Bakery ( http://www.gourmuttsbakery.com/) will be on the scene with more doggie goodies!
Thanks Gourmutts!

Peter Holsapple and Steve Stoeckel will perform a few songs after their readings.
