Orlando, FL — July 12, 2018
Grab your pups and meet us for a SUMMER CELEBRATION in the Mennello Museum’s Sculpture Garden! Summer Block Paw-ty presented by Pig Floyds Urban Barbakoa will be held on July 27, 2018, from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the museum’s lakeside sculpture garden (900 E. Princeton St.).
Shannon Fitzgerald, Executive Director states, “The Pet Membership program is part of our mission to reach multiple audiences and provide several access points to art, culture, and nature. Our sculpture garden on Lake Formosa is a welcoming place for the community to gather together with their pets, enjoy local food and beverage, and immerse themselves in the museum experience.”
Sip on summer beverages like spiked lemonade and orange creamsicles while the doggos indulge in a pup cup from Jeremiah’s Italian Ice. Mercantile Coffee Co. will be here serving up complimentary sparkling Arnold Palmers exclusively for our Pet Members, along with other refreshing beverages for sale. And of course, our friends at Pig Floyds will be dishing up some tasty complimentary bites for everyone as well!
We’ll also have paw print art projects and a photo booth area with props for you and your pups. And our friends from Franklin’s Friends will be joining us with The Pixel Fund who will have adoptable dogs!
