Because some festivals are fun… and some are just pure serotonin.

If you’ve ever wondered what heaven looks like, I’m pretty sure Taylor from our Country 105 family has the answer: 5,000 golden retrievers all gathered in one place, tails wagging like they’re trying to power the entire town of Golden, Colorado.

Yep – Taylor and her fur baby Levi made the pilgrimage to Goldens in Golden, one of the world’s biggest golden retriever festivals, and honestly… I’m still smiling hearing her talk about it.

Listen to Taylor tell Dee all about the adorable event here:
