This year's event will feature artists displaying everything from fine jewelry to crystal sculptures to oils and watercolors, all with an animal theme.  Artwork varies from the work of Christine Wilson who creates a gorgeous stained glass art piece from a picture of your dog to Robin Durnbaugh, a jeweler who creates a 14K gold necklace from your own dog or cat's nose imprint.

Many of the wineries attending the event will also be animal themed, from Graeser Winery's 2002 Two Dog Vineyard Merlot to Mutt Lynch Winery's Unleashed Chardonnay. The rockin' band from Los Angeles, Kelly's Lot, will round out the festival will their eclectic mix of styles built on a Blues/Rock foundation.
