Subject: June '02 DC/Balto Dog Events

Here are the Balto/DC area Dog Events for June '02. If there's anything I missed, please let me know at gomezthenewf@yahoo.com and I'll pass it on. -Xavier

Sat. 6/1 830-1030 am, HERNDON, VA: Dog Expo and 2K walk in conjunction with the Herndon Festival http://www.town.herndon.va.us/festival/index.htm

Sat 6/1 9am-1pm, ELLICOTT CITY, MD: Parade of Paws-held at Centennial Park and hosted by Mid Atlantic Great Dane Rescue. Looks like they're having some kind of Walk plus fun contests, pet tricks, an assortment of other rescue groups http://www.mid-atlanticdanerescue.com/2002MDWalkathonpage.html. Although this is a leashed event, you can sneak off the beaten path and let your dog swim in the lake and stir up the primeval ooze at the bottom. Centennial Park map http://www.digitalcity.com/baltimore/entertainment/venuemap.adp?vid=40627 .

Sat 6/1 10 am-12noon, ELLICOTT CITY, MD: Woof in the Woods-sponsored by the Howard Co. folks who want a dog park, this is a 2.5 mi walk around a nice park with a lake. Is this going to be superceded by the Parade of Paws (above)? I suspect so, especially since the HoCo group are getting their dog park in July.

Sat 6/1 930 am -?, SPRINGFIELD, VA: Springfield Days Parade, dog brigade. Cart-pulling pooches especially welcome. Meet at 930 am at Hanover and Monticello for a mile long, flat parade route that ends at Crestwood Elementary School, 6010 Hanover Ave. Contact Rose at RSMILLER@opm.gov for more real info or be underwhelmed by the scanty offering at http://www.springfieldchamber.org/, then "events" "annual events" "springfield days". After this is over, make a day of it by going to the nearby...(see entry below at Lake Accotink)

Sat 6/1 12 noon-?, LAKE ACCOTINK, VA : Rally Obedience, pet rescue/adoption fair, doggie bake sale sponsored by the Fairfax Co. Dog 4H club, plus various Springfield Days festivities and a promised (but not confirmed) Newfoundland water rescue demo. Rally Obedience is sort of like a combo of regular obedience and canine musical chairs, far more interesting and fun than the traditional kind. This match has a lighthearted focus, so go ahead and enter your marginally trained mutt. Held rain or shine in/by the upper pavilion at Lake Accotink Park, 7500 Accotink Park Rd, Springfield, Va. For more info, email Joanne at dog_4H@hotmail.com and to familiarize yourself with Rally Obedience, check out the AKC's website at http://www.akc.org/dic/events/rally/index.cfm

Sat 6/8 ???? CALVERT CO., MD: CHAOS(Chesapeake Hiking and Outdoor Society)is a group based in Annapolis that likes dogs and supports them being unleashed in suitable venues.

Sat 6/15-16, CODORUS STATE PARK, PA: CNC informal water practice for those selfless people who volunteer at all the water events and thus never get a chance to do it themselves. Details in newsletter, Karen Parry oldemillnewf@att.net

Sat 6/22 6pm-?, ANNAPOLIS,MD: Concert featuring Mammie North at Quiet Waters Park, 600 Quiet Waters Park, Rd, Annapolis, MD 21403. OK, so it's a concert, but it's outside in a pleasant setting where you can spread your blanket and bring your dog. Plus, the dog park and dog beach are nearby, go early, get good parking, wear the mutt out, kick back and relax.

Tues 6/25 5:30pm-?, BOWIE, MD: Want to take your dog to a baseball game? Now you can see the Bowie Baysox at their stadium and enjoy the dog festivities before the game starts at 7pm. The dog pays $6.50 but you are free. I think they want you to pre-register by 6/24 at 5pm dsullivan@baysox.com More info at http://www.baysox.com/promotions/?entry_id=198.

Every Tu and Th 5-8 pm ALEXANDRIA, VA: Yappy Hour- Go to http://oldtownhis.com for exact address and phone #. Held on a spacious enclosed outdoor terrace every Tues and Thurs from 5-8pm (often runs later)through Oct, this is a remakable combination of Happy Hour and happy dogs. Free and cheap snacks (ie, all-you-can-eat wings $1.95, shrimp $4.95) and a farm wagon piled high with dog yummies combine with booze to make this a memorable social outing for people and canines alike. Dress ranges from cut-offs and a Tshirt to business attire and street parking can be found easily.

Monthly Dog Events is also posted at http://voy.com/52810/ , a free and easy to use bulletin board site. That way you can just bookmark it instead of saving/printing this. However, the links don't seem to work. -Xavier
