SOME of the things we are having this year for Pyrapalooza 2024 ( we will update as we add more things) :
1) Animal Communicator, Anna Clocke - Our pets have so much to tell us if we only listen.
2) The rescue parade - Your Pyrenees does not have to have come from our rescue. Just needs to be a rescue. Did you open your door to it and give it a home when it needed help?
3) Costume Contest (bring your own creation or make one from our treasurer boxes).
Other fun games like :
