Rev your engines and grab the leash!

The Morristown-Hamblen Humane Society and Morristown Parks and Recreation announce the upcoming “Wags and Wranglers” event.

This community-focused Jeep show and dog-themed festival will take place on Saturday, April 11 from noon to 5 p.m. at Fulton-Hill Park.

“Wags and Wranglers” combines the rugged spirit of the off-road community with a passion for animal advocacy.

The event promises a high-energy atmosphere featuring a Jeep Show, a Dog Agility Obstacle Course, various local vendors, and a lineup of popular food trucks.

The Humane Society will have animals on site for adoption and opportunities to learn about adoption and foster.

All dogs coming to the event must be on leashes.
