🐄🐮 WHAT AN AMAZING DAY AT THE 2ND ANNUAL COWFEST! 🐮🐄

📍 Frederick Fairgrounds | October 25, 2026

WOW! What a moo-velous day! 🐄💙 Wags for Hope was thrilled to be part of the 2nd Annual Cowfest, celebrating our amazing Frederick County community alongside the Frederick Flying Cows! 🏀🐮

Our Wags for Hope therapy dog teams had a fantastic time joining in the fun! A huge thank-you to Teams Maya, Regan, Lucy, Flynn, Jax, Rosie, and Trapper for coming out and representing Wags for Hope! 🐾💙 Your participation helped make this event extra special!

And let's talk about that RECORD-BREAKING moment! 🎉🐄 The grandstands were filled with people sporting their cow onesies and costumes as the Frederick Flying Cows announced that they had broken the Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of people dressed as cows, with an incredible 1,902 participants! Talk about a whole lot of moo! 🤣🐮🏆

It was wonderful to see our community come together for an event filled with laughter, excitement, hometown pride, and plenty of cow-print fun! Events like Cowfest remind us how special Frederick County is when we come together to support one another.

💙 THANK YOU to the Frederick Flying Cows for giving Wags for Hope the opportunity to participate in this incredible event and help support our Frederick County community! We are grateful to be part of a community that brings people together for such memorable experiences.

Wags for Hope at the Out of the Darkness Walk

On October 24, 2026, Wags for Hope was honored to attend the Out of the Darkness Walk at Baker Park in Frederick, Maryland, in support of suicide prevention, mental health awareness, and everyone whose lives have been touched by suicide.

A heartfelt THANK YOU to Teams Arthur, Regan, Max, CoCo, and Lucy for being there and sharing their love, comfort, and support with the community. 🐕💜

💜 WHY ARE THERAPY DOGS IMPORTANT AT EVENTS LIKE THIS?

Sometimes, words aren't enough. Grief, depression, anxiety, and emotional pain can be difficult to express, and asking for help isn't always easy.

Therapy dogs offer something truly special: a comforting presence without judgment, a friendly face when someone feels alone, and a moment of peace during an emotionally challenging day. A gentle nuzzle, a wagging tail, or simply sitting beside a loving dog can help someone feel connected, supported, and reminded that they are not alone.

Our Wags for Hope teams were there to help spread comfort, compassion, and hope. While therapy dogs are not a replacement for professional mental health care, they can help create a welcoming environment where people feel more comfortable connecting with others and seeking support.

💜 YOU ARE NOT ALONE. HELP IS AVAILABLE.

If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally, experiencing a mental health crisis, or having thoughts of suicide, please reach out for help.

📞 Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

You do not have to be suicidal to call. You can reach out if you are overwhelmed, struggling emotionally, or worried about someone you care about. Support is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If there is immediate danger, call 911.

💜 Thank you to everyone who walked, volunteered, shared their stories, and stood together to raise awareness. Every conversation matters. Every act of kindness matters. Every life matters.

Let's continue to break the stigma surrounding mental health, encourage people to seek help, and remind one another that hope is always worth sharing.

🐾 SIT. STAY. HEAL. 💜
