Thank you, Lyra Bordelon for the terrific article!! It was a joy to share the day with you. See you next year for the 11th Annual Blessing of the Animals!! :-)

Blessing of the Animals holds 10th non-denominational event in Staunton's Gypsy Hill Park Blessing of the Animals is a non-denominational event held to celebrate “the animals that are nearest and dearest to our hearts.”

Pandemic? Bah! Humbug! We are still doing the Annual Blessing Of The Animals on January 1st!!!
This year we'll be virtual. Stay tuned for more details! And if you are interested in participating, shoot me a direct message with your email address so I can invite you via Zoom.
Bonus: This year you can bring your cats, ferrets, chickens, turtles, fish and parakeets!

Hello and Happy Holidays!!!! I'm dropping in to say hello and to see what you think about an idea:
I am the one who does the Annual Blessing Of The Animals every January 1st. The last two years I did it at the Pavilion by the Dog Park at GHDP. Because of Covid and the pandemic, I am not traveling to VA this winter. Utterly breaks my heart, but safety first!
Would you be willing and interested in attending a Blessing of the Animals on 01/01/2021 via Zoom, hosted by me? Please let me know!
I miss Staunton so much this season!!
