STRUT
FOR STRAYS
On
May 8th, dogs and their guardians will make their way to the
Ladd
Arboretum for the Community Animal Rescue Effort's Strut for Strays.
Hundreds of paws and feet will hit the ground walking (or running) for
the 3-mile event. Help us raise money to care for the hundreds of
animals that C.A.R.E. finds homes for each year.
WHO
IS INVITED
Fun-loving
people, with or without a four-footed canine companion. Although cats
and other pets are not allowed, you can run or walk in honor of a
favorite animal friend.
WHERE
IS THE WALK?
The
walk
starts at the Ladd Arboretum in Evanston, near the corner of McCormick
Blvd & Bridge Street. Parking is available in the Arboretum lot (or
on side streets if
the
lot is
full). Do not park in the Ecology Center lot. Walk through the Rotary
Friendship Garden to the Arboretum.
Look for the
white tents.
The walk follows the path along the North Shore Channel
south almost to Dempster Street where there will be a water station and
a turn-around point. However, you may turn around at any point if your
dog is tired or your feet are barkin'! Come back to the start point for
refreshments and the Doggie Carnival!
