Getting the Word Out About this Important Event!
We work super hard to get the message out about Woofstock all OVER the Finger Lakes -- from Rochester to Syracuse, Elmira to Binghamton -- and beyond, because we believe in the work these rescues, shelters and programs do. And want everyone to come and have a fun day with us, while we help them all out! Here's a sampling of our current and past press, with an ENORMOUS thanks to our media friends who helped us out!
