DRESS REHEARSAL FOR ROXY READING’S “STRUT YOUR MUTT” AT CHAMBERS 19

For a tail-waggin’ good time, belly up to the bar for Celebrity Bartending Night with Roxy Reading Therapy Dogs on Tuesday, April 22, 2014 from 7-9 PM at Chambers 19, Bistro and Bar, 19 North Main Street, Doylestown, PA 18901. Roxy Reading President Diane Smith will be celebrity bartender, and Roxy, the Boykin Spaniel, will greet guests at the door.  Festivities include a silent auction, 50/50 and music that will set your toes a-tappin’.

This event is a “dress rehearsal” and preview party for the second annual “Strut Your Mutt with Roxy Reading” dog parade and celebration that takes place on Kentucky Derby Day, Saturday, May 3, 2014 from 9 AM-1 PM at Fanny Chapman Park, Doylestown, PA 18901. Mad hat designers Bel Bijoux will be on hand at Chambers to create custom Kentucky Derby-style couture hats  for owners and their dogs to wear at the event on May 3.

Admission is free, open to the public, and a fun event for the whole family. A portion of the food and beverage proceeds go to support Roxy Reading Therapy Dogs.
