Upcoming events for the weekend September 5-7

There are two notable events coming up this weekend that you may want to check out.  One is the Evening in Paris hosted at the Gwinnett Arena.  On Saturday, September 6 the Georgia SPCA hosts their most luxurious gala event of the year. Come see and be seen and support the important work of the Georgia SPCA.  Enjoy an evening reminiscent of Parisian nightlife, featuring dinner, cocktails, dancing and a spectacular doggie haute couture fashion show!  Special guest, Xena the Warrior Puppy, winner of the ASPCA Dog of the Year 2013, will join in for the festivities.  The other event is Frankie’s Friends Doggone Run.  Fetch your sneakers (and Fido or Fluffy) and join Frankie’s Friends Doggone Run anytime the weekend of September 5-7 for a unique, virtual 5k event that will put thousands of runners across America on the road to raise funds to help sick and injured pets who need lifesaving medical care. It’s easy and fun! A virtual 5k is just like any other race — but without an official location. Participants register, create their own teams for fundraising — or participate as individuals — and then run, walk, bicycle or skip during the designated race weekend — when you want and where you want. Come check these events out and have a great time!
