Bark in the Park was swell!

Watson here, and I want to tell you how much fun I had at Bark in the Park. The race was great, even if my folks were slower than molasses. Miraculously, we made it over the finish line just in time to get a medal. There were so many great booths and nice folks it was amazing! I scored tons of treats and cool stuff. Thanks to everyone who made this the best day of the year for me and my friends. Please support the following businesses that have supported us.

XOXO Watson
