We are back at the Good Dog Park next month! – August 7th 2011
Information on our next event:
Sunday, August 7th 2011 from 9am-10am. (Take note of the earlier start time)
Wegmans Good Dog Park
Onondaga Lake Park
2500 Cold Springs, Liverpool, NY 13090
Directions can be found HERE.
I am happy to say i’ve secured the Good Dog Park again this year for our group. Instead of walking our hounds, we will have one whole side of the dog park to ourselves. Yes, the kind folks at Onondaga Parks are allowing our club private access to one of the two fenced in areas for an hour. There is no charge for this event however, they did charge me this year to use the facilities. Donations would be greatly appreciated. I will have a small container at the table if you are so inclined to help out or you can use my donation link on this website. So, what does this event mean? It means our hounds can play, explore and run free while us humans can hang out, watch the fun and socialize. I want to again make this an event to remember. I will have a table setup at the entrance promoting our club, and most importantly, promoting Greyhound adoption. If any of the local adoption groups would like to have literature on that table, please feel free to email me. I am also going to try and get WTSM TV back to cover the event! Last time they couldnt find us but I will make sure that they have accurate directions this time. We will also be doing some raffles for Greyhound Walking Club merchandise.
In order to make the event as incredible as I know it can be, I will need your help. Please tell as many Greyhound owners as you can. The bigger the turnout the better. We want to really show people just how tight nit our club is and just how passionate we are about our hounds. So please, spread the word!
There are just a couple additional rules that need to be followed at this event:
#1. This event is just for Greyhounds and their owners. I know we do allow other breeds at our walks but I would like to keep this event to just our Greyhounds.
#2. When entering the fenced in area, your Greyhound must be wearing all their proof of Rabies vacacination tags.
#3. Many have asked about muzzles this year. I would say I would request that you have your hound wear one but I’m not going to say its mandatory. We didnt have any issues last year with fighting but you never know. Better safe than sorry.
That’s it! I hope you are as excited about this event as I am. It should be a great time and also give us the opportunity to help promote Greyhound adoption. If at 10am, people feel like having an actual walk around the park with our hounds, we could certainly do that. If anyone has any additional ideas for that day or questions please don’t hesitate to email me at glenn@thegreyhoundwalkingclub.com. As always, please leave a comment at the end of this post if you plan on attending.
