We listened to our Fall Expo attendees who told us they wanted a summer festival like the Expo. And for years we’ve been asked to please bring our event to the West side of town. The Horizon Event Center has made that possible. We hope you enjoy the 2nd Annual Great Iowa Pet Fest!
The Great Iowa Pet Fest shares the joy that our pets offer, while showcasing a variety of new products and services.
