NEW LOWER FEES! Registration to participate in Paws in the Park is $25 which includes an event t-shirt, VIP goodie bag, and one souvenir dog bandana. Additional pets can be registered for participation with a $10 donation. Attendees can also register for a $5 donation but will not recieve a t-shirt, goodie bag, or bandana. Children 16 years old and younger are free.
Paws in the Park is the must-attend event for any animal lover. The event begins with a one-mile mutt strut through Gage Park. Following the walk, vendors are open for shopping and browsing along with other activities. Throughout the morning, pet contests will be conducted and, for a minimal donation, pancakes and sausage will be served by Perkin's Family Restaurant and Bakery.
