🐾Pet-Palooza returned on September 16, 2023 for another fun-filled day of pet-friendly activities! 🐾
Pet-Palooza is a day of pet-friendly and family fun activities, games, vendors, food and more that takes place in September annually. All proceeds of the event benefit the Orland Township Pet Pantry which coexists with the Food Pantry.
