Mark your calendars for Saturday, September 28 for the 1st Annual Scribbles' Walk & Pet Fest from 9 am-1 pm!

The Norwalk Easter Public Library and NEPL Foundation are pairing up for this fun community event and library fundraiser. Participants are encouraged to register to walk (with or without) their furry friends on a short, 1-mile path near the library, ending in City Park for the Pet Fest featuring local vendors as well as a dog trick demo, food trucks, a StoryWalk, and a pet costume contest.

Registrants will receive a t-shirt to show your support of our library (thanks to Hudddle* formerly known as The Norwalk Shop for production and support). All registrations will be entered in a drawing for a $50 dog wash gift certificate to Amore Pets of Norwalk. And many thanks to Kwik Star, Paws BnB, & Pet Butler for their generous sponsorships - you are so dog-gone kind!

Don't have a dog? Grab one of these adorable puppies-on-a-leash to walk with you under ticket sales for $5, while supplies last.

Norwalk Fareway is providing water and snack stations for dogs and their humans along the walking path. Save some room as food trucks will be offering tasty treats for purchase after the Walk!

Magoo's Pizza - breakfast pizza & pizza slices

The Sandwich Shop - pulled pork, mac & cheese, & deli sandwiches

Tro Sno - shaved ice treats
