Photos with Santa on Saturday, December 3

Is it that time already?  Yes, it is!

Santa will be visiting the Warren Close Bark Park and the Carlisle Family Dog Park on Saturday, December 3, 2011, from 10 AM to 1 PM.  (Yes, two places at once!  How is it possible?  Maybe he'll share that secret with your pup if asked politely.)

Please bring your own camera to take a photo of your dog with Santa. 

A $5 donation is requested.  All funds will be used to maintain and improve the off-leash dog parks.
