Chef/Owner Thomas Harvey is pleased to announce his restaurant is celebrating the noble canine with a Dog Days of Summer event on Thursday, August 18, from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., to benefit Fall Church, Virginia’s Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation. The public is invited to bring their pup to Harvey’s open-air patio for an informal, who has the cutest dog “beauty” pageant. 10 percent from the food and beverage sales of the entire day at Harvey’s will benefit this foundation, so clearly it is a day for the dogs.

Harvey’s will have multiple people standing around the competition pie table, and a couple seated off to the side, monitoring the event. The first fully consumed pie from the tin wins the pie eating contest. Proceeds help the animals, as 50 percent of each registration fee contributed by the pie eating participants benefits the Lost Dog & Cat Rescue.
Those in attendance, with their own beloved canine in tow, will be eligible to enter a raffle drawing for a $50 gift card to be utilized at Harvey’s. If one brings their dog in a costume for this special occasion, they will receive two entrees doubling their chance at winning a raffle prize. A total of three gift cards will be raffled off for those who have brought their dogs to experience the afternoon into evening of merrymaking for a good cause.
