CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Fortera Credit Union, Clarksville Regional Airport, and the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County present a new family event coming to Clarksville this month.
The first annual Wags & Wings Family Fun Fest will be held on Saturday, October 14, 2017 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Clarksville Regional Airport, 200A Outlaw Field Road. Wags and Wings will be replacing the Wags to Witches Fur Ball Bash fundraiser hosted by the Humane Society each year.

“Our Wags to Witches Fur Ball Bash ran its course after 10 years. We were looking to replace it and timing is everything,” said Amy Shaver, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Clarksville-Montgomery County.
The event will feature the Disc-Connected K9s, a group of Frisbee catching trained rescue dogs. Vendors will be selling food and a wide variety of chicken wings to feast on. There will be an inflatable play area and live entertainment to provide fun for the entire family, including pets.
“There will be something for everybody and something to keep you busy all day long,” Airport Manager John Patterson said.
The Humane Society will have pets up for adoption and will be available to provide information on pet care and the new spay-neuter program. They will also continue the Pet Photo Calendar Contest using online submissions and votes.
Wags & Wings will offer display booth rentals, so civic clubs and other organizations are encouraged to participate. Sign-up forms for vendors and exhibitors can be found at www.wagsandwings.com.
The party element of the old fundraiser event will still be present. Once the daytime festivities have concluded, Wags and Wings will host a 21 and over adults only Hangar Party complete with beer, food, and live music.
This festival will bring attention to the services provided by the Humane Society while raising funds to support the local initiative. It will also encourage the public to learn about and visit the local airport facilities.
