A fundraising event to benefit Friends of Lynchburg Dog Park, "Paws in the Pool" will be held on Saturday, September 3rd, from 3 pm to 6 pm at Miller Park Pool in Lynchburg (1200 Park Avenue). For this one event, dogs are allowed in the pool! Enter your furry friend in fun contests and win wonderful prizes: Cutest Wet Dog, Best Water Trick, Cutest Doggie Swimsuit, and Limbo Dog! There will be fun activities both in, and out, of the pool, and dogless dog-lovers are welcome to watch and partake of the fun! Admission will be $15 per dog, $10 per human, and $5 per two-legged child under 12. Cash or check only. Tickets are available at Lynchburg Parks and Recreation Department at the Miller Center (301 Grove Street) and at the gate. Tickets are limited - buy early!

Paws in the Pool is sponsored in part by Lynchburg Parks and Recreation. Please email lynchburgdogpark@gmail.com if you have questions, and help spread the word among your dog-loving friends. Lynchburg may have lost the PetSafe dog park contest, but we still have our dogged determination to build our local park here!
