10th Annual Rosemary Beach Unleashed Dog Festival TM
Rosemary Beach Unleashed celebrated its 10th anniversary on Nov. 22, 2020 with another fun tail-wagging afternoon filled with festivities for two and four-legged friends. Presented by Rosemary Beach Foundation, the event was held on St. Augustine Green and included a pet parade, dog contests, music and a silent auction that benefited Alaqua Animal Refuge. Pet families donated to feature these favorite furry friends on this year’s event posters. Rosemary Beach Foundation recently presented Alaqua with a $10,000 check from the event proceeds. Thank you to the McConnell Family, Disco and the many supporters, vendors, volunteers and attendees. “We look forward to this event every year. It is one of our most festive fundraisers where people can bring their animals and visit with friends, and meet new ones,” said Alaqua Founder Laurie Hood. “We are incredibly appreciative of the ongoing support from the Rosemary Beach Foundation. Our partnership truly helps us save more lives and give more second chances to animals in need.”
