Our Pet Expos also make available an outstanding shopping venue of products and services pertaining to pets and children.

Harvest Festival - Shade Mountain Winery (about 2 miles from T&D's)
October 09, 2010
During the month of October, Shade Mountain Winery will donate a portion of the proceeds from Rascal Red. Rascal Red is a sweet fruity red wine, like sangria. Why Rascal Red? There is a very cute and suspicious raccoon eating grapes on the label.

Enrichment Weekend - June 12 & 13 During Enrichment Day, the animals will be having fun! Environmental or behavioral enrichment is achieved by adding to a captive animal's environment or by modifying that environment to stimulate behaviors resembling those of a healthy wild animal. Enrichment is intended to encourage behaviors that are appropriate for the species and that satisfy and animal's physical and psychological needs (www.aazk.org). Come and see the joys of animal enrichment! Event is free with your admission to T&D's.
This event made possible in part by a grant from the Snyder County Commissioners Tourism Fund.
