PLAINFIELD – In partnership with the Plainfield Area Public Library and Plainfield Park District, State Senator Meg Loughran Cappel and Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant are hosting a Rescue Rally & Pet Expo in Will County, which will give area residents the opportunity to rescue a new pet and enjoy a day of pet friendly activities.

“This is a fun weekend event to bring the family and celebrate the joy that pets bring to our lives, along with spotlighting rescue animals looking for a new home,” said Will County Executive Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant. “I appreciate the opportunity to work again with Sen. Loughran Cappel, the Plainfield Park District, and the Plainfield Area Public Library on this annual rally and expo.”
