The Dog Days of March
| Saturday, March 19, 2016 – 9 a.m. – Noon
THE DOG DAYS OF MARCH In addition to our stellar food vendors, this week we celebrate our K-9 pets in several ways. If you have a dog, we bet you know about our long-time vendor, Give. Treat. Love. They pioneered healthy organic treats that are plant-based and free of preservatives and chemicals. They also are keen on helping dogs in need, so they donate treats to local rescues and shelters in our community. This Saturday, K-9 New Life Rescue will have adoptable dogs. Folks from Lynnhaven River Now will bring supplies for their Scoop-the-Poop program. There’s Croc’s ever-popular Yappy Hour featuring great food and drinks. And stop by the Information tent for the Doggie Gift Basket Raffle! Hit the paws-button. Come for a doggone festive time at Old Beach. Then head home with treats for yourself from our A-list producers. Unleash the power of local foods for you and your dog. RECIPE SALTY CHIHUAHUA Since it’s the Dog Days of March at the OBFM, here is a quick cocktail that is refreshing and bracing and crafted in honor of my chowhound, Little Miss Pico, an adorable nine pound Chihuahua. Rim a glass with a lime wedge and dip in a plate filled with sea salt to coat. Add 1 jigger of tequila, four ounces of lemonade and a splash of lemon-lime soda. Stir with a long twig of fresh rosemary and fill with ice. Squeeze the lime and drop it in, and add the rosemary as garnish.
