Sedona Parks and Recreation hosts Walk-A-Hound, Lose-A-Pound

The City of Sedona Parks and Recreation Department cordially invites all animal lovers and dog owners to support this third annual event by participating in our Dog Walk.    Families, neighbors, and community members are encouraged to register for the Walk-A-Hound, Lose-A-Pound event to be held on October 2, 2010.  Entry fee is $10 a dog (not per person), or $15 the day of the event (cash and check only) and this registration fee includes a commemorative backpack and an event bandana.  Bring the entire family to walk the dog.

The Dog Walk will begin at the Ramadas at Posse Grounds Park at 8:00 a.m.  The walking trail (1 mile) will lead you through both paved and dirt trails of beautiful Posse Grounds Park, 525 Posse Ground Road.  After the walk, vendors will be on site for viewing until 11:00 a.m.

The Sedona Humane Society will be organizing fun competitions including a doggy costume contest, best dog trick and a look-a-like contest.  Small prizes will be awarded.  See an agility dog demonstration as well as a demo from Sedona’s newest K9 Officer Dalan.

It is sure to be a fun event for those who enjoy a little exercise and the great outdoor views Sedona has to offer.  We encourage all friendly owners and their well-behaved dogs to be a part of this day.  All breeds are welcome.  Please have dogs on leashes.  Register today at Parks and Recreation, located at Sedona City Hall, 102 Roadrunner Drive.  For more information, please contact Parks and Rec at 282-7098 or 203-5011 or online at www.SedonaAZ.gov/Parks.
