Subject: July '02 DC/Balto Area Dog Events

Not much happening in July that's strictly dog related. However, many of the local parks have concert series that you can take your dog to and both of you can enjoy the music and a picnic. Lake Accotink, VA and Quiet Waters Park, MD are just two of the sites that welcome (or at least tolerate) your canine friend; check out your nearby parks.

You'll see things here (ie grass growing on a pink car) you'll never see anywhere else. Bouffant hairdos, feather boas and rhinestone encrusted stretch pants will abound and the female contingent will be even more colorful. A multitude of events go on all day and if you can last that long, it's a fine place to view the fireworks at the Inner Harbor.

Th 7/4 12noon, TAKOMA PARK, MD: The Partnership for Animal Welfare http://www.paw-rescue.org/shows.html#event has a contingent marching in the 4th of July parade-I'm sure they'd be pleased to have you help swell their ranks.

Don't know for sure if they're having this one, but if you're nearby and looking for something to do, give it a shot. It's a nice park with a lake you can sneak your dog into for a swim as long as you don't mind a little muck. Your dog won't.

Sat 7/13, ?-?, HOWARD CO, MD: Opening day for Howard Co's first official (and pricey and exclusive) dog park. Here is all I've found, but if you're interested I guess you can call. "Worthington Park is being developed off New Cut Road near its intersection with Hillsborough Road, just north of Route 103. The off-leash area will be
the first part of the park to be ready; the grand opening will be held on Saturday, July 13th. An annual user permit ($30 per household) is necessary to use the park; the money will be used for the upkeep of the dog area. To register for a permit, you will need to present a copy of your county dog license and a current rabies certificate, and each dog registered will be issued a distinctive tag. Registration can be done by mail (call 410-313-7275 for the registration form) or in person at the Department of Recreation & Parks, 7120 Oakland Mills Road, Columbia 21046; if you will be attending the July 13th opening, you should be able to register at the park that day."

The above was culled from the HoCo Dog Yahoo Group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dogpark/messages/
