Dog owners are encouraged to bring their furry best friends to enjoy food, fun, and festivities during Hops and Hounds on Saturday, Aug. 26, from 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. at Brighton Sports Complex (1111 Judicial Center Drive). Although alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase for those 21 years of age and older, family members and friends under the age of 21 are welcomed to join the fun. Hops and Hounds festivities will also include food and live entertainment from DJ Squirt and the Margarita Brothers band.
