Logan County Tobacco and Heritage Festival hosts Blessing of the Animals

LOGAN COUNTY, Ky.- The Logan County Tobacco and Heritage Festival continued Thursday evening by blessing the community’s beloved pets.

The Pet Show and Blessing of the Animals is an annual event that honors animals, pets and their owners.

This event also unites the community and gives back to those in need. In order to take part in the pet show, each participant provided non-perishable food items.

Richard Estes says he’s been doing this for years and why he continues to show up every year.

“I love it, meeting the people, meeting the animals, and it’s just it’s a good community event for people to come together sometimes,” Estes says. “This is the only place where some of these people get to see each other.”

Richard says that he will continue to put on this event and pour back into a community that has given so much to him.
