The Arc Bark April 27, 2008 at 3:00 PM at The Pennsylvania Military Museum in Boalsburg  The Arc of Centre County will hold its second annual Arc Bark on Sunday, April 27, 2008. The event will be held at the Pennsylvania Military Museum grounds in Boalsburg, a very public location with great facilities. While raising money for The Arc of Centre County, the Arc Bark will also promote the human-animal bond that is so important to animal owners. The Arc Bark is a walk for humans and their dogs; to come and enjoy the day, get some exercise, associate with other dog owners, and raise money through sponsorships. Participants are encouraged to be part of a team of community minded; dog-loving people, or they can walk individually. In addition to the walk (participants can walk as long or as short as they - or their dog - desires), there will be a variety of "doggie" activities available to take advantage of. These activities include paw painting (instead of finger painting), photo opportunities for you and your dog, as well as a craft booth to make a tug toy. Several other activities are also being considered at this time. Watch the site for updates and details of this year's event! http://taocc.org/index.php |
