The barks of the 2013 Woofstock could be heard even of the streets of South College Saturday, Aug. 24.
This year's Woofstock brought out nearly two thousand people, resulted in six adoptions and raised approximately $20,000 for the Lee County Humane Society.
Activities for dogs, such as the Wash & Wag. made it a great day for the four-legged friends of the Auburn community. Dog treats were abundant and happily barking animals ran rampant in Kiesel Park.
"My favorite part was having the pets come in and enjoying the day," said Shelly Adams, administration and events coordinator for the Lee County Humane Society. "Just seeing all the different people and their pets and how they interact, seeing the joy in their face watching their pets be able to have fun. We had every shape and size dog out there."
Children enjoyed face paintings and inflatables.
The event's major sponsors were Delta Zeta sorority, philanthropist Gerald Leischuck, Fur Buds Veterinarians, Glynn Smith Chevrolet, Buick and GMC and Golden Family Cattle Farm.
McAllister's Deli, Reggie's Concessions, Dinky Donuts, Overall's Pops, Kona Ice and Momma Mocha's Coffee sold refreshments and Spicer's Music provided all the equipment for the musical entertainment. Garage bands performed from 9 a.m.-noon and the band, Sol Co, followed.
All donated funds went toward the society's operating costs, animal care and provisions.
