NEW HOPE, Minn — You might have heard of the famous Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee but here in Minnesota, we have the Woofaroo.
The Can Do Woofaroo is a celebration of the partnership between assistance dogs and the people who need them. It's a fundraiser for Can Do Canines, the largest provider of assistance dogs in Minnesota.
The outdoor family-fun events planned for Saturday include live music, a dog costume contest, dog-centric vendors, an assistance dog demonstration, prizes and a one-mile walk.
The Can Do Woofaroo will take place at the Can Do Canines campus, 9440 Science Center Drive in New Hope, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., with a one-mile walk beginning at 11 a.m.
It's free to attend.
