Tails are Waggin’ for Barker Days 2012!
Barker Days in Parker
Tails Start Waggin’ for Barker Days!
This exciting Parker Recreation event welcomes hundreds of dogs with their owners and features a temporary dog park in the O’Brien Park ball field and H2O’Brien Pool, dog demonstrations, contests and dog-related vendors.
September 8, 2012
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
O’Brien Park, 10795 Victorian Dr.
You do not need to be a dog owner to enjoy this event. Our family attends every year and had such a blast watching the pure joy radiating off of the dogs especially the labs and retrievers that were swimming in the pool. The dog in the photo we took above often had 2 or 3 tennis balls in his mouth at a time.
Dog owners get even more rewards as there are all sorts of free giveaways and samples in the vendor area and if you are thinking about getting a dog there are several rescue and fostering organizations on had to answer any and all questions.
