A local animal shelter will participate in the state’s largest celebration of pets next month in Des Moines.

Volunteer Linda Shelley says Panora PETS will be one of twenty rescue groups on site at the Great Iowa Pet Expo, on October 17th and 18th at the State Fairgrounds. She says the annual event provides a wealth of knowledge and highly recommends it to any pet owner. “There’s lots of entertainment going on. They have obedience groups there and there are lots of great products to buy for your pets, just a lot of great information in general.”

Shelley will tell us more about their plans for the Expo and other events coming up, today on Let’s Talk Guthrie County. It airs during the 9 a.m., noon and 5 p.m. hours on K107.9 and www.raccoonvalleyradio.com.
