Dear Reader, I want to thank everyone who came out to support Bark in the Park. The race was great even if I have gotten to be slower than molasses. Just making it over the finish line was a thrill. There were many wonderful booths and nice folks. It was amazing!

There was something for everyone. The Future Farmers of America's petting zoo was a hit! I could not resist feeding the insistent goats who got up close and personal to make their demands. Of course, the pig was the star.

Thanks to everyone who made this the best day of the year for CAPS. We could not do it without you. Please support the following businesses that have supported us and forgive me if I forgot to mention anyone.
