3rd Annual “Bark On The Boards”, Saturday, October 5th, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Fundraising Event, Autumn in Rehoboth Beach!, Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware, “Give a Paw a Hand”
An afternoon of “dog-gone” good fun for individuals, families and canines at the 3rd Annual “Bark on the Boards”….Destination? Lake Gerar in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Date? Saturday, October 5th.
Even though Rehoboth Beach is known as a summer destination, the Second Season is one of the best. Restaurants are open, shops are full of merchandise, the beach is a place for relaxation….and for fundraising!!
If you are traveling with your pooch to Rehoboth Beach, check this fundraising event hosted by the Delaware Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is the oldest and most experienced animal welfare organization in the state.
Last year, the event attracted more than 250 walkers with their pets. It is sponsored by Browseabout Books. The afternoon includes dog contests, including a bikini contest, a disc dog demonstration, refreshments, kids’ activities, and much more.
Location? Lake Gerar Park in Rehoboth Beach. Lake Gerar is one of the 3 fresh water lakes closest to the ocean anywhere in the country. Along with Silver Lake, and Lake Comegys…these are the jewels of Rehoboth Beach!!
All the money raised is used to fund the work of the Delaware SPCA and for the care of abused, neglected and homeless animals, and their efforts to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs. Delaware SPCA is the oldest animal welfare organization in thestate. It was established in 1873. Today it operates shelters in Stanton, New Castle County, and Georgetown, Sussex County.
This walk also coincides with the first day of the “off season”, when leashed pets can be walked on the Boardwalk and beach without restrictions.
Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. in Lake Gerar Park. The walk will start at Noon at the north end of the Boardwalk.
Advanced registration is $20 for adults, before October 3rd, and $25 the day of the event.
