You know that you look like your dog, right?
So why not remove your mug and put the dog’s photo on your holiday card this year? If you are still reading – we have good news. This December is the first (fur-st?) annual pet photo event at Rye Playland.
Playland is partnering with VEG Cares, the philanthropic arm of the Veterinary Emergency Group, to introduce the first annual Holiday Family Pet Photography event for charity on Sunday, December 3, 2023 from 11 am to 3 pm, when visitors can dress up their pets – whether they are a dog, cat, or bird – in their holiday best for an adorable Winter Wonderland or Santa-themed shoot.
The photo op will be available at Playland Beach boardwalk, set along the backdrop of panoramic views of the Long Island Sound. For a 20 donation to VEG Cares, visitors and their furry (or feathered) friends can have their photo taken on the Playland Boardwalk, courtesy of Bryan Goldberg Photography, and receive one digital photo.
“Every year from October to April, Rye Beach at Playland is the ultimate dog playground,” said Jeff Davis, General Manager of Playland. “We love to see locals bring their canine family members to run around and play! Partnering with VEG and their Cares program, all while offering professional photos and giving back, is our ongoing testament to serving our local community.”
All proceeds go directly to VEG Cares and will help local underserved pets in the White Plains area. The event is open to pets of all shapes and sizes, as well as families and individuals without pets looking to snap a holiday photo. All are encouraged to come in their most festive holiday attire, as VEG will be giving away merchandise to the best dressed pets and patrons.
The photo event on 12/3 will be operated by VEG White Plains vets, nurses, and volunteers, giving pet owners the rare opportunity to receive expert veterinary advice while capturing the “paw-fect” holiday picture. Note at Rye Beach at Playland, all pets should be appropriately leashed.
Playland will also offer visitors the chance to win complimentary 2024 All Access Season Passes. Parking will also be free for both events.
