Garrett’s mother, Amy Fifield said the event keeps her son alive in a positive light.
“We wanted to do something meaningful in his memory and he was such a huge animal lover and we decided to create a mutt strut in his memory to raise money for the butler county humane society,” said Fifield.
The event featured a peanut butter eating contest for the dogs and a costume contest. Attendees were able to get some exercise in with their animals with a two-mile dog walk.
Visitors were also able to participate in several different raffles.
Last year the event made around $20,000 for the Butler County Humane Society.
