🐾 Barktober Fest: A Fundraiser for Blue River Pet Rescue

This October, we’re throwing a paw-some party for rescue pets — and we want you there! 🎃🐶

Join Blue River Pet Rescue on Sunday, October 11 from 12–3 PM at Junto Winery in Seward, Nebraska for Barktober Fest, a dog-friendly afternoon filled with fall fun, games, food, vendors, and plenty of opportunities to make a difference for pets in need.

🎃 What’s Happening?

Bring your pup and come ready to have some fun!

🐶 Mutts in Disguise — Barktober Fest costume contest
📸 Smooches N’ Snoots — photo booth station
🥧 Paws N’ Pies Showdown — dog-friendly pie eating contest
🐾 Lucky Pup Cup Shuffle — can your pup sniff out the hidden treat?
🍂 Silent Auction, Vendors, Food & More!

Whether your dog arrives dressed as a pumpkin, a pirate, or simply their usual chaotic selves, there will be something for everyone. 😂🐾

💙 Why We’re Gathering

Barktober Fest isn't just about having a barking good time. Every dollar raised will benefit Blue River Pet Rescue and help provide care, shelter, and second chances for pets in need.

Every animal who comes through our doors needs something different — food, medical care, supplies, a safe place to land, and ultimately, a chance to find a family of their own.

When you support Barktober Fest, you're helping us continue saying YES to the animals who need us most.

🎟️ Tickets

$15 — Pre-sale tickets
$5 — Kids tickets
$20 — Tickets at the door

Your ticket isn't just admission to a fun afternoon. It's a direct investment in rescue animals who are counting on their community.

So grab your tickets, round up your people, dress up your dog, and come celebrate rescue with us. 🎃🐕🍂

Let's make Barktober Fest a day to remember — for our community AND the animals who need it.
