January 8th, 6:30 p.m.; Whoof on the Wharf, Edgewater
Come to a relaxing paint night at our clubhouse on the South River in Edgewater. We will walk you through, step by step, in creating this beautiful painting of a pup admiring the sky. There will be some sparkles involved, and... you can even substitute your own pup for the lab in the painting if you would like. The painting is totally yours. If you would like to paint a dog other than the lab, you will need to send us a profile pic of your pup in advance so we can prep the canvas for you. Pictured below are some pics from our recent events! Best of all, we will donate 20% of the proceeds to one of our local animal welfare charities. Some snacks and beverages will be provided, or feel free to bring your own! You can also come a little early and order dinner from The Pier Restaurant next door. Ticket sales close early for this event so we have time to prep the canvases for you. See you then!
