Event Description
Paws in the Park is a fun-filled day brought to you by the Staffworks Fund! Wiggle Waggle on over with your dog or walk one of ours at the New Hartford Sherrill Brook Park for a day of supporting the fur babies at Anita’s Stevens Swan Humane Society!
Kick off the day by joining a brisk walk around the park! The excitement doesn’t stop there - enjoy a lineup of family activities including a pirate-themed dog parade, a daylong Adopt-A-Thon, delicious food trucks, local & pet-themed vendors, and an atmosphere full of happy tails and live music.
Fundraising is voluntary but highly encouraged! You can easily become a Social Media Fundraiser. PLEASE see the "DONATE" tab to set up your individual fundraiser! Or, if you prefer to "sponsor" a walker, you can search and select from the "participants" list and go from there.
