The Columbia-Greene Humane Society/SPCA (CGHS/SPCA) is excited to announce the return of its beloved Summer Paw Picnic, taking place Saturday, September 27, from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the picturesque Locust Hill Barn, located at 5 Stockport Road, Ghent, NY.
Back by popular demand, and with an exciting new twist, the CGHS/SPCA is thrilled to host a family-friendly fundraiser that promises an unforgettable afternoon of food, fun, tail wags, and community spirit, all in support of its life-saving mission. Guests of all ages are invited to join this outdoor celebration, featuring a lively mix of local food trucks, craft breweries, and a spirited cornhole tournament. Attendees can enjoy tasty offerings from Kurb Dogs and Las Tres Americas, followed by a sweet treat from the beloved Mr. Ding-a-Ling ice cream truck. For the 21+ crowd, a selection of local craft beverages will be available from Chatham Brewery, Hudson Brewing Co., Union Street Brewery, and Storybrook Hollow: The Castle Brewery.
Attendees will also have the chance to win big with the event’s popular “Bucket of Cheer” raffle, which includes a carefully curated selection of local wines, spirits, and craft beers.

A highlight of this year’s picnic will be a special presentation by Brian Robinson of Robinson Wildlife Lectures, a returning favorite known for his engaging and educational wildlife demonstrations. Guests will get up close and personal with a variety of live animals during this one-of-a-kind show that blends education, conservation, and entertainment.
“The wildlife show is always a crowd favorite,” said Ron Perez, President and CEO of CGHS/SPCA. “It’s entertaining, interactive, and inspiring; and it reminds us why protecting all animals, domestic and wild, is so important.”
Tickets can be purchased at the door, and all proceeds from the Summer Paw Picnic entry fee will benefit the CGHS/SPCA, supporting shelter operations, rescue efforts, veterinary care, and rehoming services for animals in need across the region.[Picture 1: Locust Hill Barn]
