“My dog just loves this festival, he is so happy to interact with other cute little doggies,” said Josie Ferberson, owner of Cupcake, a 40-pound bulldog. “There’s so much tail out here,” said Cupcake, “I swear I could rub my nose into 20 dog buttocks, turn around and there are 20 more to sniff. I love this place.”

It was strange handwriting and accompanied by several Greenies. Now that I think about it, I think some dogs were attempting to bribe us to have the festival more often,” said chairman of the Cider Days board.

To honor the newfound fans of street festivities, Cider Days will be known as Mutt’s Nuts next year.
