7th Annual Pup Crawl Supporting HSHC Planned For June

BEL AIR, MD ? The Humane Society of Harford County?s seventh annual Pup Crawl that raises funds and awareness for homeless animals will be Saturday, June 8, in downtown Bel Air.

All of the participating establishments are within walking distance and include Das Bierhalle, Looney?s Pub, MaGerk?s Pub, Main Street Tower and Vagabond Sandwich Company.

"This event is more than just a pub crawl; it's an important fundraiser to help offset the cost of surgeries, medications, vaccinations, and supplies for the thousands of animals we shelter annually,? said Bob Citrullo, executive director at the HSHC. ?It?s also a great way to spend a casual Friday evening with friends and family supporting local businesses.?

Tickets are $45 per person in advance and include a commemorative shot glass, courtesy of Carl?s Door Service; a drink at each pub; a beverage koozie sponsored by Heated 4 U; and a chance to win a door prize if the crawler?s credentials are stamped at every bar. If tickets do not sell out in advance, the price at the door is $55. Designated drivers and those who prefer unlimited water and soft drinks may purchase a tag-along ticket for $10 per person. Tickets are available now at HarfordShelter.org/PupCrawl.

Sign in begins at 4:30 p.m. at Looney?s Pub and crawlers are then free to fan out throughout the downtown area for a casual evening of good times. Crawlers are invited back to Looney?s Pub at 9 p.m. for a final reception to share one last drink together, toast sponsors and announce door prize winners.

All guests must be 21 years of age to participate and pets must stay at home.
