The City of El Cajon is holding its “Dog Days of Summer” event on July 13 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Heartland Fire and Rescue located at 100 Lexington Ave. in El Cajon. This community event is free with a mix of activities, entertainment, and fun.
“Dog Days of Summer is set to be an amazing event for our community. We’re especially excited to have Gabriel Feitosa on board this year. His incredible talent will add a vibrant and unique element to the day. We’re also thrilled to welcome back Camp Run a Mutt for the second year in a row. They’ve washed hundreds of dogs in the past, and their free dog wash service is always a hit. It’s a fantastic opportunity for families to come together on a fun Saturday morning and enjoy all the fun activities we have planned,” said Heartland Fire & Rescue Captain Travis Timmons in a press release.
