The Lee County Humane Society will soon host its 10th annual Woofstock event at Kiesel Park. This will be a family friendly celebration for Lee County residents and their pets. There will be live entertainment and family activities, as well as humane society adoptions. The event will be held from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, September 11th.



Admission is free for the day except for some small fees for some of the activities, but all proceeds will benefit the local Lee County Humane Society. There will be several dogs from the shelter present that could be adopted. Families who are interested in adopting can fill out an adoption form during the event and may take their new pet home from Woofstock.



Lee County Humane Society public relations director Stacee Peer also included that there will be a children's fun area, pet contests, canine demonstrations and Frisbee-dog demonstrations, and live entertainment from some local artists from Tom Spicer's Garage Band Camp.



"It's a really fun day with your dog and it incorporates some of the things we do here every day at the shelter." Peer said.



The Delta Zeta sorority will be volunteering their time at the event as well. They are the bronze level sponsors of the event, and helped to raise more than $1,000 for Woofstock. The sorority's philanthropy chair, Kristen McCall, said that each year Delta Zeta has its new members complete a service project, and this year they will be helping at Woofstock. McCall said the new members will be helping to set up and take down, judging some of the pet contests and working many of the various booths that will be there.



The sorority will also have their own booth at the event to promote their upcoming philanthropy, DZ Doggy Dayz in the Park on October 17th.



The girls have also been passing around flyers to promote Woofstock.



"Anything they need us to do, we're going to try to do as best as we can," McCall said.
