Presented by Arroyo Grande Community Hospital, this tail-wagging event is happening on the same day as the Day of Hope Car Show, making for a full day of community celebration. These events are part of the larger Day of Hope festivities, which continue on Wednesday, August 26. All proceeds support local cancer patients at Mission Hope Cancer Center – Arroyo Grande.
