The 2022 Meriden Rotary Annual PetFair, proudly sponsored by Teddy's Stores, brought our community together for a day of fun, fitness, and furry friends on Saturday, August 13th at Hubbard Park. Event Highlights Our 5K Road Race saw enthusiastic participation from runners of all levels, with medals awarded to top finishers across multiple age categories. The Dog Walk portion allowed pet owners and their four-legged companions to enjoy the beautiful park grounds while supporting great causes. Throughout the day, attendees enjoyed: Live demonstrations from local service dog organizations A marketplace featuring pet-friendly vendors and animal welfare organizations Refreshments from the Teddy's Stores food truck Family-friendly activities for children of all ages Pet adoption opportunities from area rescue groups Community Impact Thanks to the generous support of our sponsors and participants, this year's event raised significant funds for local animal welfare organizations including Meriden Humane Society, Saving Paws, and other community partners. The event exemplifies Teddy's Stores' commitment to our "Fuel & Food with a Mission" philosophy, connecting our business with meaningful community engagement. Thank You to Our Partners Special thanks to the Meriden Rotary Club, Gulf Oil, and all the volunteers who made this event possible.
