BARK IN THE PARK
SEPTEMBER 23, 2017
‘BARK IN THE PARK’ MORE THAN JUST WALK, RUN
Annual Animal Fundraiser marks its Fourteenth year as a Louisville tradition
The ‘Bark in the Park’ continues to cater to both four-legged and two-legged family members.
Held September 23th at Seneca Park, the fourteenth annual fundraising event includes a 5K Run as well as other family-friendly events. Proceeds go to benefit Animal Care Society, the city’s first non-profit, no kill shelter, located at 12207 Westport Road. Events for pets and their owners include Kissing contest, look alike contest, a doggie Halloween costume fashion show, agility demonstrations and many other activities which begin at 7 a.m. and last until 1 p.m.
Does your pet have a paws-itively perfect performance? Pet owners can sign their dogs up for the 2 doggone great contests, which will showcase their bow-wow’s brilliant skills. Or maybe you are more inclined to dress up your pooch and prance down a runway. Furry Fashion enthusiasts can enter their pampered pooch in this year’s Halloween costume fashion show. But don’t be shy. Walk down the runway with your favorite furry friend and display this season’s latest styles. If your pup is not so prim and proper, then encourage your clever canine to demonstrate his athletic dexterity in the agility demonstrations. Just because your pet pal will be preoccupied does not mean the rest of your family will be bored. Kids can enjoy themselves at the kids area, with game activities and a bounce house.
Vendors will also have booths on site to provide visitors with merchandise and information. Pizza slices and sweet treats will be available for our human guests. After your canine companion works up an appetite, you can purchase doggie biscuits and other treats for them to eat.
For a chance to win great prizes visitors can enter the Animal Care Society’s Raffle; names will be drawn at end of the day. Or you can enter the silent auction and bid on a number of great gifts for your furry friend.
If you’d like to donate money to Animal Care Society or help sponsor the event, contact Bunny Zeller at (502) 425-3972 or e-mail me at bunnyzacs@bellsouth.net # # #
