Mutt and Meow Fest to aid the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley
LAS CRUCES – The 29th Leadership Las Cruces class will be hosting Mutt and Meow Fest in May to support the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley.
Each year, the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce’s professional development program participates in a project that will support the community. Mutt and Meow Fest will help raise funds for ASCMV that will go toward purchasing medical equipment and promoting the adoption program.
The event will feature food and drinks, entertainment and live music, raffles, a “mutt strut,” pet photobooth and other pet-friendly activities. Participating pets should be on a leash at all times. The festival will be set up from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 14 at the Greater Las Cruces Chamber of Commerce parking lot, 150 E. Lohman Ave.
All proceeds will go directly to ASCMV and donations are tax deductible. Onsite material donations will be accepted, including kennels, crates, dog sweaters, blankets, collars, leashes and towels. Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Contact the chamber of commerce at chamber@lascruces.org or at 575-524-1960 for details.
