On Saturday, Oct. 2, Rockville Presbyterian Fellowship is hosting "The Blessing of the Animals" from 9 a.m. to noon.

Each animal will be blessed giving thanks and hoping for a long and healthy life. All animals are welcome. Dogs must be on a leash, cats in a carrier, and all others under control.

Free Hawaiian shaved ice cups will be provided by Kona Ice to the first 200 people with pets.
