A World of Pets This Weekend

The Wonderful World of Smell and Taste at the World of Pets

Winterlude of Fun this Weekend

Think of the World of Pets this weekend at the Maryland State Fairgrounds as a winter interlude (a winterlude?) for those of you are snowbound or rainbound or cold-weather-bound and want to get out and “think summer” – like carnival food or county fair fun.

You may even find tropical nonalcoholic drinks in colorful glasses that look like blue dolphins or pink flamingos. Peanuts (The Nut Lady and Pretzels) and more flavors of fudge than you can imagine – to take home. Real lemonade made on the spot. Carmel apples (The Apple Cart) and new favorites from All Things Sweet & Treats.

Love strudel?  Stop at the The Original Strudel Factory.

And don’t forget your best friend – take home some treats from Annie’s Pooch Pops or the Baltimore Dog Bakery.

For the Human in You

Check out the Linganore Wineceller/Red Shedman Farm Brewery booth and the Sangria booth!

Who doesn’t like licorice? I am going to stop by the Sweet and Sour Licorice store.

Nothing Smells Better than a Clean Dog

Sudzy Pet will be at the World of Pets – do you need a groomer to come to you?

Nothing smells better than a clean dog except maybe real leather. Just look around for new leather designs. And inhale deeply.

There will be hundreds of exhibitors (see the list here)  at the World of Pets – and I will be there all three days, in order to experience it all. See you there!
