Santa Claus may be coming to Doylestown on Friday, but Santa Paws will be arriving on Dec. 1. The big man in red will return to Life on the Leash on Saturday, Dec. 1 for portrait sessions with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Hosted by the Friends of the Doylestown Dog Park, the event is a fundraiser for the newly opened park on Almshouse Road in Doylestown Township.

Stan’s Vitamins in town keeps a canister of doggie treats under its counter. The owner of Vintage brings her dog to work with her.

School's out early Friday, so head on over to some of Doylestown's shops for a little fun and games. While you're having fun, you'll be raising money for a good cause.
Doylestown shopkeepers tend to collectively hold their breaths when the calendar for Central Bucks School District shows an early dismissal. The onslaught of kids coming into town can be formidable, even for the hardiest of souls. But this Friday, certain merchants are hoping to turn that invasion into something positive. About eight downtown shops are offering games, crafts or special treats to students ages 5 and older who come into their stores between 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. Proceeds collected will then be donated to the American Red Cross for its efforts in aiding the tsunami victims in Japan. While the idea itself is laudable, the effort behind the idea is literally fun and games. “It’s just a fun thing for people to do, and bring their …
