This weekend at Lyman Orchards Rally your family, friends and colleagues for an opportunity to “raise a little hell” ( quote from Paul Newman, founder of the camp) at Hole in the Wall's 2nd Annual Pedal for Pies cycling event held at Lyman Orchards. Cyclists will choose between the 15 mile route, 33 mile route, or the metric century (63 miles). All routes wind through the beautiful orchards and around the central part of the state, where cyclists will find the friendliest, fully staffed rest stops and SAG vehicle support. All are invited to join our one-of-a-kind finish festival with activities, food, and live entertainment!
There’s also a Mothers Day Brunch on Sunday!!!! All details can be found at www.lymanorchards.com
This Mother's Day weekend, join us at Dogology in Canton from noon to 3pm for a special adoption event featuring over TWENTY sweet, social, and deserving puppies who are eagerly waiting to find their forever homes. We believe every puppy deserves the level of love and attention that only a Dog Mom or Dad can provide! That's why we are hosting this event, to help these puppies find the loving families they deserve. Must be pre-approved to adopt your perfect match the same day. This event is a great opportunity to meet multiple puppies, ask questions, and learn more about our rescue organization, even if you will be rescuing in the future or would like to volunteer!
