By Erin 

In celebration of National Dog Month, Tustin’s chef-driven food hall– Mess Hall Market at FLIGHT–is partnering with local dog rescues and vendors to celebrate National Dog Month with an exciting Adoption Event on Saturday, August 20th from 10AM-2PM! The Dove Project will be bringing adoptable dogs for guests to meet at Mess Hall! The Dove Project is a non-profit organization that focuses on ending the dog meat trade in South Korea. Animal rescuers in South Korea rescue dogs from slaughterhouses, meat farms, and high-kill shelters and are provided with shelter, food, veterinary care, and forever homes in the U.S. In addition to The Dove Project, local rescues No Stray Left Behind & Ozzie and Friends Rescue will also be on-site with adoption opportunities.

Mess Hall will also be partnering with local, dog-friendly vendors for guests to spoil their pooch for National Dog Month. Guests can shop from a selection of dog themed-vendors that include recycled toys, pet treats, CBD oils, clothing & eco-friendly pet supplies. Tiller Tugs uses recycled fire hoses to create quality dog toys while raising funds for local rescue groups. Nibbs Club creates pet treats that are made with healthy, quality ingredients and no preservatives. Wonderfull works to provide CBD products for pets to support natural healing. Molly McB & Company crafts pet collars, slings, walking bags, and more pet accessories. Lil’ Archie’s creates eco-friendly pet products, like compostable dog waste bags and Eco-Bandanas. All of these vendors will be onsite at Mess Hall for guests to pick up items just for their dogs! 

In addition to meeting rescues and exploring what the vendors have to offer, guests can also participate in a Pet Portrait Painting Class. The class is open to beginners or experienced painters, and Master Artist, Alexis Rivera will guide guests through every step of creating a beautiful masterpiece of your pup! Tickets for the painting class can be purchased on her website at www.paintingandvino.com.

Mess Hall Market is a pet-friendly location that has hosted multiple dog adoption events where pets have been able to find their forever homes. During the event, Mess Hall will be open so guests can fuel up with their favorite food and drinks while meeting some amazing, adoptable dogs!

Get ready to walk down the aisle with the release of WEDDING SEASON, on Netflix now! Featuring a new song from Natania Lalwani. Full of warmth, love and laughter– this is one you will want to see! It makes for a fun, light-hearted girls night chick flick.

Pressured by their parents to find spouses, Asha (Pallavi Sharda) and Ravi (Suraj Sharma) pretend to date in order to survive a summer of weddings— but find themselves falling for each other as they struggle to balance who they are with who their parents want them to be.

It is a story that deals with the human struggles and triumphs of love, family, career, empathy, societal pressure, purpose and sense of self, through the eyes of the south Asian American community.

From director Tom Dey (Failure to Launch, Shanghai Noon), WEDDING SEASON is produced by Swati Shetty, Tony Hernandez, John Hodges with Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Jake Fuller, Matt Code, Ryan M. Murphy, John Rhodes serving as Executive Producers and features an amazing cast from around the world of stage and screen, including Pallavi Sharda, Suraj Sharma, Arianna Afsar, Sean Kleier, Veena Sood, Manoj Sood, Sonia Dhillon Tully, Damian Thompson, Ruth Goodwin, Ronica Sajnani, Julius Cho and Rizwan Manji.

After breaking off her engagement, leaving a successful banking career behind in the city, and moving to New Jersey for a fresh start, Asha (Pallavi Sharda) couldn’t feel more alive. Her mother, on the other hand, thinks that her oldest daughter is about to miss a lifetime of happiness if she doesn’t take her focus away from her new startup job and place it on finding a husband instead. Taking matters into her own hands, Asha’s mother creates an online dating profile in order to set Asha up with a “perfect” match. Enter Ravi (Suraj Sharma) — or rather Ravi’s parents — who have the exact same idea for their son.

Asha and Ravi’s reluctant first date is a bust, and they quickly discover that each is in a seemingly different place in their life right now. After realizing her mother is relentless and will not give up, Asha proposes a plan to Ravi that would be a win-win for both: a pretend relationship to be each other’s date to get through the upcoming wedding season. Through countless invitations, dances and dresses in the next three months, Asha and Ravi slowly come to find that they might have more in common than they think. Maybe their parents were onto something after all.

So do they end up together? Well, you will just have to go watch and find out! Wedding Season is on Netflix now!
