The Festival That Honors Pets and People Who Love Them
What makes a community celebration truly unforgettable? Love—and pets.
In this episode, I talk with Father Justin Briggle of Good Shepherd Episcopal Church about the story behind Harvest PawFest, a joyful festival created to honor the deep bond between pets and their people.
Originally an Oktoberfest-style event, Harvest PawFest has grown into a heartwarming community tradition centered on animal blessings, family fun, and the unique connection we share with our pets.
BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:
- How one local event became a meaningful celebration of animals and togetherness
- The planning, stories, and surprises behind pet blessings—from dogs to hedgehogs
- Why community events like this create stronger bonds between people and pets
This episode is filled with warmth, laughter, and thoughtful moments that will make you appreciate the role pets play in connecting us all. Whether you're an animal lover or a community builder, you’ll walk away inspired.

P.S. You may hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk during this episode. That was our original name before we embraced the fur, mess, and mayhem. Same content, just a name that fits.
