Soggy Doggy
Here is your chance to bring your K-9 companion out to play at the beach. The William H. Haithco Recreation Area is usually off limits to pets, but for this one event, we are opening the gates to your pup. Come out and let your dog romp and play in the lake. The swimming beach will be closed for the season, so only dogs will be allowed in the water. In order to hold this event, we ask that you clean up after your pup while at the park. The event will take place at the William H. Haithco Recreation Area from 6:00 P.M. to 7:30 P.M. Donations accepted.
