Round up the entire family for an afternoon of free fun to discover how service and companion dogs change the lives of individuals with disabilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Open House is my favorite CPL event,\u201d said Darlene Sullivan, CPL Founder and Executive Director. \u201cIt is a great opportunity to share our mission with the community \u2013 those who love dogs, those who have an interest in the world of disabilities, and those who are just touched by the human\/animal bond.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Visitors will be given a passport to travel through all aspects of CPL\u2019s mission. At the service dog demonstration area, you can watch the dogs demonstrate a variety of skills including tugging jackets off, retrieving dropped objects, carrying items, and paying a cashier. At the \u201cLife with a Service Dog\u201d booth you can meet CPL recipients and hear their inspiring stories firsthand.<\/p>\n<p>As you make your way through the passport, don\u2019t miss the popular \u201cPuppy Kissing\u201d booth for all the puppy snuggles and smooches you can handle! There are also opportunities to shop from local vendors, listen to live music, enjoy a BBQ lunch (while supplies last), play kids\u2019 games, and more! Even though we will be off-site this year, you can take a quick shuttle up the road to tour our kennel and the construction of our new Marian S. Ware Program Services Center.<\/p>\n<p>The day wouldn\u2019t be complete without our ever-popular Cow Bingo! Cow Bingo is a game of chance that pits your luck against the cow \u201cdoo\u201ding her thing. If the cow heeds the call of nature on your square, you are the lucky winner of $5,000! Tickets are $10 each. Squares are randomly assigned and chances are 1 in 3,000. The cow will be released at 4:00pm. Tickets sold out last year so purchase your tickets before it\u2019s too late! Tickets can be purchased <a href=\"https:\/\/donatenow.networkforgood.org\/cplopenhouse\">online here<\/a> or by calling 610-869-4902 ext.225.
