FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
September 27, 2008 - Dogs for Dogs in Highland Park from 11am to 3pm
A day of fun is planned for the entire family, including four-legged members (dogs are welcome on leash, please). Cash donations will be accepted at this event, and official dog park t-shirts ($15 each) and dog park bumper stickers ($5 each) will be sold. A schedule of the day’s activities includes:
• Dog Park Informational Showcase – 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Residents of the Old Southwest neighborhood and greater Roanoke community are invited to learn more about plans for this fenced, off-leash, public dog park. Information will be provided on fencing materials, gating, benches, waste receptacles, landscaping, and more. The proposed one-acre site within Highland Park will be roped-off so residents can visualize the dog park’s dimensions.
• Buddy Wash and Nail Trim – 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. For a $10 donation, dogs will be bathed, and for an additional $10 donation, veterinary professionals will provide nail trims.
• Dogs for Dogs – 12:00 noon to 2:00 pm. Enjoy a lunchtime meal of hot dogs, chips, and a soft drink for a $5 donation. The Roanoke Dog Park Steering Committee thanks Kroger for their generous donation of food and supplies for the “Dogs for Dogs” fundraising event.
• Roanoke’s Greatest Dog Talent Show – 2:00 pm. Everyone believes their dog is the world’s greatest. By making a $5 donation, proud pet parents finally have the opportunity to prove it. Contest categories range from “Best Trick,” “Best Dressed,” and “Mirror Image” (person and dog who look most alike), to “Biggest Dog,” “Smallest Dog,” and “Best in Show” (overall crowd favorite). Prizes, including dog park t-shirts, pet treats, and pet store gift certificates, will be awarded.
