PPickerington residents love their pets, and that fact is never more obvious than it is the day of the Olde Village PetFest.

This year’s PetFest was held Sept. 7. While it was primarily dogs accompanied by their owners that packed West Columbus Street in Olde Pickerington Village, they were not the only animal companions to attend – cats, rabbits, snakes, a bird, a turtle and a ferret were among the other creatures.
