Nashville Lappy Hour

Entrepreneur: Jenny Clough Location: Nashville, Tennessee
Nashville Lappy Hour

Description:

A funny thing happens when people bring their dogs to the bar. Lappy Hour started as a way for Jenny Clough to promote her mortgage business. It has since evolved into a wacky social event that neighbors, humans and dogs alike, look forward to each month. The venue, more often than not, is a local Nashville watering hole. Clough provides a way for dog lovers to meet other dog lovers in an environment that’s more fun than a dog park or a training class. The variety of sizes and breeds that attend provide plenty of entertainment, along with plenty of comedy, kisses and drool. Call it Barktoberfest.
