A day of wine, dogs and horses
Save the date for fourth annual Horse & Hound Wine festival in Bedford on July 12. The paw-friendly festival returns with plenty of events for pooches, wine and food for people, and a parade for horses.
A prior commitment keeps me from going this year, but we had a great time when we attended last summer. It was brutally hot that day, but the event coordinators made sure to have plenty of water and wet towels on hand for the dogs, and a picnic shelter provided some relief from the sun.
If you want to go:
Where: Johnson’s Orchard, 2122 Sheep Creek Road, Bedford
When: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Cost: $10 in advance for adults, kids and dogs; $15 per person at gate; children under 2 free
Contact: 586-3707 or go to peaksofotterwinery.com
Does anyone have any details on the jack russell races to be held at the horse show this friday, June 27th? I would love to see the jack's in action, but hate to spend the entrance fee if it is a short event--thanks!

I do not have info about the Jack Russell races yet, J., but stay tuned and I will see what I can find out.
I have heard this popular event is great fun and certainly the best way to race dogs.
