DOG PARK GRAND OPENING!

Subject: Badger Mountain Dog Park: grand opening celebration from 9am-12pm, Sat Oct 18
The Badger Mountain Dog Park will be a pilot park, in place for 6 months to measure usage and compliance after which time this location may become permanent. Join us this weekend to celebrate this unique opportunity! We are planning a grand opening celebration from 9am-12pm, Saturday, October 18, 2008. We will begin with an Animal Blessing and Park Dedication with Rev. Craig Moro of Community Unitarian Universalist Church in Pasco followed by a good old fashioned ribbon cutting. There will be prizes and raffles as well as goodie bags for the first 100 visitors to the park. Several dog park sponsoring businesses and charities will be on hand as well.
