Creating Brighter Futures... For Humans and Animals 2000

First Annual Strut Your Mutt 2-Miler

BARK IN THE PARK 2000
Bark in the Park 2000, a celebration of all that the Conway Area Humane Society will be, was a huge success even though the weather made for a few nervous people.

The torrential downpour left over from hurricane Florence cleared the area the night before as a dedicated crew of volunteers set up the rings for the Bark in the Park 2000, Saturday, September 16th. The day broke with a beautiful blue sky with high white clouds, perfect; over 1000 people and hundreds of happy canine companions visited the park for this exciting event. It was truly a family day at Schouler Park.Walking Everyone enjoyed the games, especially musical sit, which became very competitive.

New this year, the Canine Freestyle demonstration was very popular. There were things to do and watch all day. The first annual Strut Your Mutt 2-Miler was a hit as the group took a quiet stroll through Whitaker Woods and back to the park.

The Top Dog Team Challenge, also new this year, brought local teams together to compete for the prestigious Barker's Cup. The three categories of competition were: donations collected for the dog walk, team costume, and games-musical sit, obstacle course, and egg and spoon relay race.

At the end of the day, the Irving Mainway Mutts were crowned Top Dogs. Second was The Golden Gang and third the memorial Hospital's Scrub Pups. The teams put a lot of effort into the events and made the day more fun for all.
