The Book Fair Family Night at the Woodfern Elementary School in Hillsborough, New Jersey was so much fun on Wednesday, March 5, 2025! Belle Mead Animal Hospital was honored to participate this year.
There was a full schedule of activities planned, from children reading the therapy dogs, to local business personalities reading to the children. Our own Dr. White had a wonderful time teaching the children a little about the day in a veterinarian’s life and reading to them.
Special Guest Readings to the children included:
6:00pm: Read with Dr. Kerrigan—our Top-Dog of the night!
6:15pm: Firefighter & Dalmatian Rescue tales—woof!
6:30pm: Dog Groomer tales—getting the fur real scoop!
6:45pm: A ruff job, but someone’s gotta do it—read with a Working Police Dog Unit!
7:00pm: Dr. White from Belle Mead Animal Hospital talks vet life!
7:30pm: Gail & Rip from Make Sit Happen—sit, stay, and listen to some paw-some service dog adventures!
There was a special Adopt a Dalmatian stuffed animal, courtesy of Hillsborough Fire Department, for the first 50 kids! Bingo activities were also planned during the evening.
Let’s not forget the raffles! Belle Mead Animal Hospital was happy to donate an Amazon Kindle Reader for the raffle grand prize! We hear it was much appreciated by the winner!
Thanks to all the kids who reminded their grownups to bring in old blankets and towels or a can of dog/cat food for donation to a local animal shelter in need. Belle Mead Animal Hospital was able to collect part of the donation to pass along to a local animal rescue group. Your donations were greatly appreciated!
It was an awesome evening for people and pets. We are so happy to have been a part of it.
