Pups & portraits IN THE PARK
Wednesday, June 25th from 5-7PM | Prince St. Park
Join us for a tail-wagging good time at Prince St Park for our Pups & Portraits Fundraiser! Two talented caricature artists will be on-site ready to capture your furry friend’s personality in a one-of-a-kind sketch.
Dogs can enjoy playtime in the lower park but must be leashed at all times in the upper park where the event will be held.
$20 donation per portrait to cover the costs of the artists, all additional funds raised will be allocated to the park’s winter maintenance fund.
