Some businesses will be offering DFD Launch Event Day promotions and sales!

3pm – 5pm: Doggy Yappy Hour at Putnam Den
Participants will submit their ballots for a drawing
A local radio/TV personality and their dog will be recognized at the event
Radio/TV personality will select winners from those who’ve submitted completed Scavenger Hunt Ballots
Prizes will be raffled off in a winners-choice drawing

Prior to Event:

• Download/print a DFD Scavenger Hunt Ballot (coming soon!) here at the DFD website or at Sloppy Kisses.
• The ballot will include a DFD Map with business addresses.
• All Scavenger Hunt participating businesses will be listed with a question specific to their business (E.g. At Sloppy Kisses, the question may be “What is the owners dog’s name?”)
• Businesses will post answers to Scavenger Hunt questions at their location (at a front counter or in the window)
• Scavenger Hunt participants will be required to visit 7 member-businesses, collecting answers to questions pertaining to that business for their ballot to be eligible for entry into a raffle.
