There will be plenty of fun for both two-legged and four-legged residents at the City of Gaithersburg’s annual Bark in the Park canine festival. Scheduled for Saturday, April 17 from noon to 3 p.m., the event includes a dog obstacle course, a bone hunt and a costume parade and contest. Bark in the Park takes place at Bohrer Park at Summit Hall Farm, 506 South Frederick Avenue (next to Gaithersburg High School). Admission is only $10 per dog, payable at the event.
The entire afternoon is devoted to our canine citizenry and their owners. Dogs can strut their stuff and pull out their best tricks for the judges in the “Doggone It” costume parade and contest, or show off their hunting prowess in the “No Bones About It” bone hunt. There will also be a dog obstacle course, tips and tricks from a professional dog trainer, prizes, and plenty of useful information and giveaways from a variety of vendors.
New this year is a special leash drive organized by Deborah Hartten of Long and Foster Realty. She will be collecting new or gently used leashes and/or collars for “Leashes of Love,” with all donations going to area dog rescue groups. Leashes may be dropped off at Hartten’s booth throughout the event.
Stop by our Best Friends Pet Care booth and say hi! For more information, visit the event's website.
