Erie Apparel's Dog Days Help Kick Off Summer

Erie Apparel

Help raise some cash for the ANNA Shelter with a fundraiser presented by Erie Apparel and Oliver's. Adoptable dogs will be working the crowd while attendees enjoy live music, food, drinks, and mini-golf, all while helping a great community cause.

SATURDAY, JUN. 20

Start your summer off the right way, by enjoying the bay while supporting shelter pups. Erie Apparel and Scott Enterprises have teamed up to present their first Dog Days, a fun-filled afternoon at Oliver's Beer Garden that will benefit the ANNA Shelter.

The event will see the launch of Erie Apparel's new Best Friends collection, which features clothing and accessories for pet-lovers as well as some matching items for their four-legged friends. "Our whole team are dog-lovers, and we've been wanting to make products for dog owners and dog lovers for a while," said Greg Straub, owner at Erie Apparel. "A few of our team members have adopted in the past, and the ANNA Shelter's mission is a great one that only succeeds with public support."

Attendees will have first access to purchase the new collection, as well as enjoy live music, food and drink, miniature golf, and other yard games available at Oliver's Beer Garden. Some adoptable dogs from the ANNA Shelter will be on site to meet, and people are able to put in applications for adoption the following Monday at the shelter, if interested in a particular pup.

The event is free to attend, and well-behaved, leashed dogs are welcome. Monetary donations to the ANNA Shelter can also be made at the event, and all proceeds from merch and other sales will be directed to the shelter.

"This is our first effort for an event of this kind," said Straub. "We'd be incredibly proud if we can make it a successful one, have some fun, and raise money for a great cause doing an important job here locally."
