Penn State’s School of Hospitality Management will host Dogsgiving Yappy Hour Wednesday, November 15 to celebrate the fourth anniversary of the local nonprofit One Dog at a Time (ODAAT). The organization raises funds for dogs in need of homes and promotes stronger humane laws throughout Pennsylvania.

The event will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at The Station on East Beaver Avenue. Yappy Hour will celebrate the various foster families who have provided safe homes for rescue dogs over the past four years. According to the event’s Facebook page, the celebration will include complimentary “yappetizers,” various brews, and local raffle prizes. This is a dog-friendly event, of course, so feel free to bring your furry friends along with you.

Students enrolled in Penn State’s Advanced Meetings and Events course partner with a local organization each semester to assist in planning a major event. Professor Jackie Golas leads the course, which aims to give students hands-on event-planning experience.
