Henway Hounds Tailgate Paw-ty
Grab your jerseys, your pup, and your game day spirit—because Henway is going to the dogs… football style! Join us for a tail-wagging, team-spirited celebration where dogs, their humans, and our favorite fall sport collide!
Event Highlights
Best “Tailgate Trunk” Contest
Think Trunk or Treat, but make it football! Decorate your trunk in your favorite team’s colors, mascots, and memorabilia. Dress the part with matching gear for the whole family—including your four-legged fan. Guests will vote for the Fan Favorite Tailgate Trunk, and yes—participating trunks are welcome to hand out dog treats to visiting pups!
