Please join us to walk in the West Hartford Memorial Day Parade!

We are seeking volunteers (and their four legged friends) to walk in the Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 25th. If you are interested, please respond to this email or contact our leader for this event, Caroline Gaetano at barkeater@sbcglobal.net.

This event was so much fun last year, that we decided it would be a great event to do again this year and a great opportunity for dog park supporters to get together and continue to show the town how much we support this project. We hope to see you there!


Details for the event:
- Well behaved dogs are welcomed to walk with you, but they must be on a leash.
- We will meet at Farmington Avenue, west of Newport Avenue at 9:45am on Monday.
- Please wear your WHDPC green shirt or another green shirt (shirts will also be available for sale for $10).
- Make sure you bring bags to clean up after your dog and water for your pet.

Also, as an update on the dog park, the project is still kickin and has been re-energized through the support of Town Councilor, Joe Verrengia. Joe is working closely with our organization to identify a site for this park and has been extremely supportive. Though we have not finalized a location, a potential site has been identified and is currently being vetted.

As always, we thank you for your continued support of this project. We hope that you will be able to join us on the 25th and display your support to the Town.

Thank you,
West Hartford Dog Park Coalition
