(Interlaken, NY) Americana Vineyards Winery announces the final schedule and vendor list for their annual local rescue and shelter benefit: Woofstock. Kids, pets and parents are all invited and asked to bring donations of pet food and supplies to support these local shelters and rescues: Pet the Pet Program of the Cayuga Dog Rescue, Second Chance Dog Rescue and the Beverly Animal Shelter. All three rescues and shelters will be on hand with "Pet Ambassadors" and information on pet adoption and pet care.
