One Fur Fun Festival, Pickleball Tournament, Pet Walk, Pet Costume Contest

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC! On Saturday, Oct.25, 2025, Wellington Athletic Club will host a fall festival, pickleball tournament, and one-mile pet walk to celebrate friends (both people and pets), have some fun, enjoy the beautiful fall weather, get a little exercise and raise some money to help animals in need. The festival, pet walk and costume contest are free, and registration includes one free voting ticket for the pet costume contest! Participants will also be able to purchase extra voting tickets at the event for $1 per vote. All proceeds will go to benefit our partner, Humane Tomorrow. The festival will feature interactive sponsor booths, a pet costume contest (who doesn't love a dog in a Batman costume!), pet bandanas, and new for this year, a PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT, AND we sincerely hope you will join us! To see photos from last year's event please scroll down.

The Pickleball Tournament will be all level, with men's, women's, and mixed doubles teams, and it also is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. It will be limited to 36 teams, and it will be a double elimination, so all teams are guaranteed a minimum of two games. There will be trophies for the first and second place winners in the three divisions, along with gift card awards. Please register NOW--there is a limit of twelve teams in each division, so once a division is full, no more teams can register for that event!

Below is the link to register. Once you have filled in the form and submitted it you will be forwarded to a Humane Tomorrow page where you will make a donation for the amount you owe. If you are registering for one division the fee is $45. If you are registering for two events the fee is $70. If you want an XXL size t-shirt you will add an extra $2 to the fee so you would either pay $47 for one event or $72 for two events. You and your partner must each pay the fee and you must list your partner's name and telephone number. The link is here: One Fur Fun Pickleball Tournament

We will also be holding our 1 mile pet walk and pet costume contest, which will start at 8:30 am on the same date. It's free, there will be prizes for the costume contest, and you're welcome to come with or without a pet! To register go to Register for the 1 mile walk and pet costume contest here
