About The Dog Mart

A Historic Dog’s Day Out and

Fun-filled Family Event

Hosted by:

The Fredericksburg-Rappahannock Chapter of the Izaak Walton League of America

Our Izaak Walton Fredericksburg-Rappahannock chapter was cited recently by the Commonwealth of Virginia General Assembly for its long standing stewardship for the Fredericksburg Dog Mart as the oldest dog event in the United States. We are very proud to continue this tradition at our chapter grounds. Mark Cole, Virginia State Delegate, made the presentation at a chapter membership meeting on the evening of June 3, 2021. The full text of the resolution can be found at HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 667
