Annual BMDCNV Winter Walk |
WHEN: Saturday, February 11, 2012 ~ 11 am
WHERE: June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation, Ashford, CT
|
* NEW LOCATION - June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation, 231 Ashford Center Road, Ashford, CT *
The Annual BMDCNV Winter Walk will be held on Saturday February, 11th at
11 a.m.
This year it is at a NEW location at the June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation.
It is very nice private forest with many trails to enjoy with our furry friends. We will gather in the Dining Hall for snacks, hot drinks and then resume after the walk for our annual Raffle that this year is being chaired by Nancy Bard. Please contact her for Raffle donations at tobeadog@aol.com.
Volunteers are greatly appreciated so if anyone would like to help organize, or can bring an item for the snack table - please contact Karen Fox at foxfirebmd@gmail.com If there is a cancellation due to weather, a message will be posted on the BMDCNV member’s e-group list.
Reminders: Places to take your dog off-leash are dwindling and we must do our part to control our dogs in the presence of other park patrons. Please bring baggies to pick up after your dog. Please maintain control while meeting others by leashing or simply holding our dogs. Use your judgment on how dog friendly other patrons are and show them respect. Also we have secured the Park for the entire day so anyone interested is welcome to take another walk on their own afterward if they would like!
