PAWS IN THE PARK -- (Photos added Thursday 3/13/08):
Palmetto Bay was a proud co-sponsor of the initial Friends Forever (FFR) – “Paws in the Park” Dog Walk/ Event.
This event was held on Saturday, March 8, 2008, at our recently completed and updated, state of the art, Dog Park located at Perrine Wayside Park. I have posted some information concerning the event, the organization, and photographs of the event.
It was another great event held in the Village of Palmetto Bay and a great example of public/private partnership.
Congratulations Dee Chess, Rita Schwartz, and all the members and volunteers of FFR for a wonderful and unique event at the Dog Park. |
Here are a few photos from the Friends Forever (FFR) Dog Walk held in Palmetto Bay's Perrine Wayside Park on March 8, 2008. It was a great cause and fun was had by all. The FFR Dog Walk was another unique activity held in Palmetto Bay, the Village of Parks.
