Dogs usually have a ruff time getting into the grounds of Spring Grove Cemetery, but for this one day each year, furry friends are invited to share in the historic site’s scenery with responsible pet owners.
In addition to self-guided exploration, a remembrance ceremony will be held at noon in honor of all the lost pups. Owners are encouraged to bring pictures of their departed companions to use in decorating white luminary bags.
Other events include a gift basket raffle, a guess-the-treats contest, organized trail walk, animal adoptions and a luau picnic. Fred’s Mission and 2nd Hand Paws will also be on-site with adoptable dogs.
9 a.m.-1 p.m. Sunday (June 23). Free admission. Spring Grove Cemetery & Arboretum, 4521 Spring Grove Ave., Spring Grove Village, springgrove.org.
