Sac City’s Friends of the Dog Park is presenting a “Strut Your Mutt” walk-a-thon to raise money to assist in the construction of a dog park in the community. This Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., everyone is welcome to the South Park Shelter House in Sac City for lunch of hot dogs and popcorn, then walk at your convenience; dogs are not required to participate. Barb Rench, member and organizer of the dog park project, says this is the first fundraising event, and she would love to see a safe spot for individuals to bring their four-legged companions.

Anyone interested in contributing can pick up a “Walk-A-Thon” packet at any Sac City bank, the Sac City Public Library, or the Sac Liquor store. Rench says individuals can pledge so much money a mile or give a flat donation and participate in any way they wish. Door prizes available as well as gifts for the top three pledge winners. All of the proceeds will go towards establishing the dog park.

Rench says the group is planning to raise funds over the winter and spring, with construction tentatively scheduled to begin next summer. One special aspect of the new amenity is that the East Sac County elementary students helped create the name, The Sac City Bark Park. Rench says she would like to see the place serve more than just community members and their pets.
