OktoPURRfest to take over new Emmaus taproom Weyerbacher Brewing Company and Purr Haus hosting 10/6 event
Emmaus, PA - Two Emmaus businesses are joining forces on October 6 with OktoPURRfest, a fun-filled event to support local cat rescues.
Hosted by Purr Haus and Weyerbacher Brewing Company, the event will be held in the courtyard of Weyerbacher’s new Emmaus taproom at 518 Bank St., from noon til 3 pm. OktoPURRfest will feature adoptable kittens, beer specials, raffles and games to raise funds and awareness.
Purr Haus owner Laurie Mason Schroeder said the Oktoberfest style event will be a rare opportunity for “cat people” to socialize in a way that dog owners have long enjoyed.
“We’re going to get together and raise a mug of delicious beer, and it’s all for a good cause,” she said.
The event is free, but attendees are encouraged to bring a cat food or kitten food donation for a chance to win a prize. Five rescues are participating:
Aunt Helen’s Cats in Need
Foxy’s Cradle
Feline Finish Line
Feline Urban Rescue and Rehabilitation (FURR)
Lehigh Valley Humane Society
Each rescue will have activities going on at their station, including raffles and games. Weyerbacher is donating $1 from every beer sold to the LV Humane Society. The Sunday Snack Shack food truck will be on site.
