In addition, author Cara Achterberg will have her book "Another Good Dog" available for purchase and signing. The book is a warm and entertaining memoir about what happens when you foster 50 dogs in less than two years and how the dogs save you as much as you save them. Dogs must be leashed at all times and rabies and vaccinations must be current. No aggressive dogs will be allowed to enter. Costumes must be safe and comfortable for the dogs. Bring a chair as seating will be limited.
