SAVE THE DATE for "Bark O' the Irish"!!
Saturday, March 6, 2010
8:30am – 12:00 Noon
Al Lopez Park in Tampa
4810 North Himes Avenue
In honor of St. Patrick's Day the 2010 Bark in the Park theme is Bark O' the Irish. We invite you and your four legged friends to dress up in your favorite St. Paddy's Day attire to help us celebrate! You can help by collecting donations for the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. We want the "pot of gold" filled to the brim for our furry friends. The funds you raise provide shelter, food, spay/neuter services and medical care for the thousands of animals that are relinquished to our shelter each year. Our dedicated walkers and supporters helped raise over $77,000 at Bark in the Park 2009!! Thank you to everyone who helped make a difference! We hope you'll join us again in 2010.
