The Log Cabin restaurant which is adjacent to the picnic area has wonderful food.

Activities: This year’s picnic site has a large fenced play area with plenty of room for dogs and their people to run and play as well as an on-leash area. There is a pond for swimming for dogs and their people. The Parade of Rescues will recognize OES rescues from the last year.  We also plan to have a silent auction.

Are you interested in what is going on with New England Old English Sheepdog Rescue?  We will have a Board meeting.
