Come out early for the pre-walk events (best kisser, best trick, best dressed) and browse the vendors (from big-box stores like Petsmart to local breed rescues and organic, gourmet doggie treat-makers). Perhaps best of all -- score swag! Freebies, giveaways, coupons, on-site discounted microchipping and pet portraits! Free water on hand, so pups and people don't get dehydrated. You can pre-register online, and this year they added a nifty and convenient online giving program where walkers can create a unique profile and cultivate sponsors. (Bugging people for money has never been so painless!) The 3K is through the streets of downtown Raleigh. Police help coordinate the walk and stop traffic. There's also a shorter 1K offered for senior dogs. After the walk, they host a Bark after Dog festival with live music and beer. Grab a table at a nearby restaurant patio to listen to the music over dinner. So much fun; and for a good cause too!

I had the pleasure to return to Celebrity Dairy for the baby goat arrival. As they are not back to…read morethe Open Barn days, they were allowing reservations for small groups again to come learn about the dairy farm; the goats and the inn. We got to bottle feed the babies and mingle with them. We also got to tour the Inn and saw a glimpse of the original log cabin. It was a very educational experience and they had goat cheese; gelato and fudge for sale too! The staff was so welcoming and answered a lot of questions. I want to go stay the night at the cozy inn now. Next year, when the new baby goats are born as then I can spend as much time with them as I want :-) I am looking forward to the monthly dinners returning as well.

They have a LOT of beautiful goats, all ages, all colors and personalities, but they also have chickens, llamas and horses. The goats are very friendly and love to have someone pet them. They are born and raised right there on the farm, so they love people. Although the lunch was very good, I loved spending time with the sweet goats. Lunch was lemonchello chicken, a nice salad, rice pilaf and roasted veggies. We had a lemon tart for dessert. The table was set so nicely and we really enjoyed our meal. We had a great tour of the facility and our guide answered all of our questions with her super knowledge and huge amount of patience!

This review is specific to Mrs. Ruth's "Zombie Paintball Hayride", I cannot speak for any of the…read moreother things on the farm. The zombie paintball hayride was more hayride, less paintball, and even less zombies. The event starts when you load up into a tractor which takes you on a 15 minute trip through the woods until you get to the "mounted" tractor. Each rider has their own paintball gun and ~100 paintballs. Once the tractor starts rolling you'll get a handful of practice shots before you reach the "zombies", which consisted of a couple of teenagers in paintball gear making noises and a whole lot of clothing stapled to trees as scarecrows. The "zombie paintball" part of the attraction lasts for 5 minutes or so, and then you get to shoot the rest of your ammo at exciting targets such as trees, garbage can lids, and more trees. Once that's done, you hop on the first tractor and take another 15 minute ride back to the farmhouse. In short, good idea, poor execution. The zombie portion is way too short, and the tractor ride is way too long. If you're looking to be scared, look elsewhere, as the tractor ride was by far the scariest part of the experience.

We made a few purchases. It was also fun to look at the flora and fauna, statues and plaques, and art installations throughout the Square. The square is conveniently located near downtown walkable shopping streets, and we took advantage of that. We parked in a paid lot behind Blake Street.

Childcare Network was one of the few centers we contacted (and we contacted many) that provided straightforward information about when our baby could start. She began on the promised date and thrived in the infant room. I honestly think her sitting, crawling, and self-feeding happened about a month ahead of when I expected, thanks to the patient care of the staff. Everyone at the center, from the director to the cook, knows our baby's name and greets her enthusiastically as she arrives and goes home. The warmth and kindness present here has made a huge difference in our first year as parents. Thank you!

He learned so many skills in their care and my working first time mom worries were minimal because we had such a good experience. When his school dates and my teaching workdays did not always line up, he came back for care during the summer several times. I had a coworker who also brought his child to Childcare Network because they were impressed with both what we had to say about the center and how happy our son was when they toured the facility. Despite it being nearly a decade later, when my second son was born in February 2024, we knew this was the first place we wanted to look for childcare options. I was pleasantly shocked that several employees knew and remembered my older son by name, and to comment on how much alike my sons look. It warms my heart to hear him greeted fondly by name by teachers from all classrooms and ages, not just those who care for him in the infant room. I am so grateful for the care and education both of my sons have received and the little one will continue to receive for the next several years. I am able to be a much better, healthier and happier working parent with their partnership.
