Looking for a fun way to mark the start of fall in the Bow Valley?

Check out Oktollerfest — Oktoberfest, but with dogs! — at The Drake Screaming Retriever in Canmore.

As Screaming Retriever’s charitable partner for this event, Y2Y will receive a portion of ticket sales — so you can enjoy a great afternoon with friends, neighbours and four-legged companions while helping wildlife and people thrive across the Yellowstone to Yukon region.

There will be plenty of fall fun, including:

• A best-dressed pup costume contest, with judging at 5 p.m.
• The debut of Screaming Retriever’s new Chocolate Retriever Dunkel Lager
• Music from DJ Wolfie Beatz
• Lawn games, a delicious menu and a dog-friendly patio

Tickets include admission and a pint. Lederhosen are optional; a good time is highly likely!
