When: July 19, 7 p.m. ? 8:30 p.m.

Comments:"The purpose is to promote international friendship and peace through kiting and other activities in which the wind serves as a universal symbol of one planet and mankind's symbiotic relationship to nature."
The event has 3 Villages: The Pet Village, The Kite Village and The Conservation Village. The Pet Village starts the day with a Pet Parade. The parade will lead into the Pet Village where a number of pet vendors will be available with some valuable pet information. Examples include pet massage & acupuncture, pet training, healthy pet food, adoptions, etc.
As a volunteer, My main focus is the Pet Village and is why I'm writing to dogfriendly.com. We feel that pets are a very important part of our lives. Research shows that violence is less prominent in people that learn to care for other living creatures. We also want to educate people in loving their pets through training and discipline rather than violence and negative reinforcement.
