Salemites & their four legged friends are in for a treat (literally, a doggie treat!) in when the Salem Downtown Partnership hosts First Wednesday 'Dog Days of Summer' on Wednesday, August 1 from 5-8 PM. Start at your favorite participating First Wednesday business and pick up free gourmet dog biscuites baked by Great Harvest Bread Company, a First Wednesday schedule, and a map! Don't miss the “Owner & Dog Lookalike Contest” in the Salem Convention Center courtyard from 5 to 7. Come enjoy music, food, and visit with our participating “Doggy” vendors. Registration starts at 5 and we will hand out prizes for the best “look-a-likes” at 6:30. Make great memories with your four-legged friends! Be sure to cool off at Bentley's Grill: $3 pint draft beer all night long. Choose from Mirror Pond Pale Ale, Widmer Hefeweizen, 10 Barrel ISA, Ninkasi Total Domination IPA, Southern Oregon Brewery Pin-up Porter, or Coors Light. Salem Downtown Partnership was created in 2006 to serve as the voice for downtown business and property owners. Our principle goals are to increase your business income and property values within the downtown Ecomonic Improvement District.
