National Dog Show to Honor City of Elderly Love

PHILADELPHIA, PA —In the Philadelphia area, one non-profit is stepping up to support senior dogs in need, and the National Dog Show, hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia is proud to recognize the efforts of City of Elderly Love (COEL).Since 2014, COEL‘s goal has been to help as many senior pets as possible spend their lives in a loving home, instead of a crowded shelter. To help advance their mission, the National Dog Show is making a $5,000 donation and promoting the organization at this year event, set for November 15 and 16 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center at Oaks100 Station Ave, Oaks, PA Tickets are $10-$20 and can be purchased in advance at nationaldogshow.com and at the door during show hours.  Each day is a separate, complete dog show with Breed, Group, and Best In Show competition. Saturday’s show is broadcast on Thanksgiving Day on NBC to over 20 million viewers.COEL connects families and individuals willing to adopt or foster a pet with animals in need. The organization focuses on senior dogs and cats, who are often the most vulnerable and in need of a home. “We are honored to be recognized in this way by the National Dog Show,” said Erin Lewin, director of City of Elderly Love. “So many animals will be helped due to their generosity, and it brings comfort and joy to animals and their caregivers alike.”The organization also financially supports families in the area struggling to afford basic supplies and medical care for their pets. COEL’s efforts help to save them from having to surrender their beloved animals, keeping more pets in homes and out of shelters.COEL also serves senior pets in hospice care. Many times, the pets’ diagnoses are unknown until they are rescued, but the group’s initiatives allow them to live out their final days in comfort.COEL is completely funded by donations and is 100% volunteer-staffed, with $0.94 of every dollar donated going directly to services, veterinary costs and supplies.

Philadelphia/ Manayunk, PA – Philadelphia’s scariest haunted attraction is back – darker, more twisted and more terrifying than ever before.

With three brand-new rooms, an all-new entry and exit sequence, new horrifying characters, and immersive photo ops, Lincoln Mill has taken fear to the next level. Think you’ve seen it all? Think again. Owners and designers stepped it up BIG this year. In addition to dozens of live-scare actors, animatronics, production quality sets and special effects, don’t miss the haunted midway, outside Haunted bar and Horror Business haunted house beer in partnership with New Ridge Brewing Co., food and drink vendors, upgrades to the haunted deck overlooking the water, and other surprises.

Tickets are on sale now at www.lincolnmillhaunt.com.

“Our goal with Lincoln Mill Haunted House for season four was simple – go bigger, darker and more terrifying,” said Lincoln Mill Haunted House Co-Founder Jared Bilsak. “We set out this year to maintain the same level of detail and quality, but to up the game with more twists and turns, and more terror. We added three rooms, extended and enhanced our entrance and exit activations, and added more characters. All the same things you have come to love are back, like the midway, the haunted deck, the collaboration with New Ridge Brewing, but we have expanded the entire experience. Each year we want the fear to evolve and our vision is to always deliver something new with our haunts. Entering our fourth year here at the historic textile mill, we don’t just aim to create fear here. We aim to co-exist with it.” 

Lincoln Mill Haunted House is a live theatrical horror experience inside a historic textile mill. The haunted experience features 40+ live scare-actors, animatronics, production-quality sets, and special effects (fog, strobes, flashing lights, more). The attraction is located in Manayunk, a historic neighborhood in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Three years ago Hurricane Ida devastated the region and shuttered the famous Mad River in Manayunk. The building owner has joined forces with a local artist and designer to take back the story and debut Philadelphia’s scariest new haunted house – and they are back for season four in 2025!
