Upcoming weekend

Besides baseball games and visiting family, Waxhaw got a lot on the plate as well, essentially starting and ending with the Autumn Treasures festival. Surely everyone is aware of the festival so there's no need to expend energy discussing it, other than to say it runs Saturday and Saturday. More info here for those interested.

I will add that apparently if you were hoping to attend one last town event with your leashed pet, the festival can be your one last hurrah. Per the town, they are being lenient with regards to the recently enacted 'no pet' policy I've discussed before.

The town's words:

Effective with Autumn Treasures on October 9/10, 2010 the Town of Waxhaw will institute the new NO PET ordinance. We do love your pets. This ordinance was created to protect the health and safety of the public. If a pet is brought to the Autumn Treasures event by an attendee not familiar with the policy, they will not be turned away but will simply be made familiar with our policy so that in the future they can leave their pets at home. Each entrance will be marked with a NO PET sign indicating that no pets (leashed or unleashed) are allowed beyond that point unless authorized by the events committee. Attached is a map showing the perimeters for the Autumn Treasures event. This map applies to Autumn Treasures only. A new map will be posted for each Town sponsored event if required.
