Dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles — and yes, even caterpillars have been known to show up. Will you be there this year?

The 2010 Blessing of the Animals will be held on Saturday, Sept. 11 from 1 to 3 p.m. All God’s Creatures (properly restrained, of course) are welcome. A free-will offering will benefit Ride on St. Louis, which provides equine-assisted therapies for developmentally and physically disabled youth and adults.

Need more information? E-mail Ivy Chapel for full details.
