Guide-Dogs visit the Fourways Farmers Market

The Fourways Farmers Market played host to the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind for Christmas in July celebrations where the guide-dog puppies were a crowd favourite.

To celebrate Christmas in July, the South African Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind headed to the Fourways Farmers Market on July 30.

Members of the association demonstrated and gave talks to market attendees on the methods of training guide-dog puppies.
Some of the stalls visitors could view included the association’s orientation and mobility tent.

With the event being called Christmas in July, the day was complete with the area decorated with Christmas lights and carols being played.

The Fourways Review journalist Khomotso Makgabutlane captured the afternoon’s festivities.
