Clermont pups and their humans don’t have to wait any longer for the “Third Annual Pups in the Park” event as it has been moved from the dog-days of Summer to Saturday, March 18.
Come on down to Lake Hiawatha Preserve, 450 12th Street, beginning at 8:30 a.m. where you can meet Clermont Police Department therapy dogs Buckley and Domino and enjoy a
“puppuccino served to your pup by an officer.
What will be the third annual dog-gone good event started as an idea to expand the popular “Coffee with a Cop” program and encourage more residents to get to know local police
officers.
“We have a lot of dog lovers in Clermont and we’ve learned this is a great way to connect with folks and meet their four-legged family members,” Clermont Police Chief Charles Broadway said. “When an officer is called, it is usually a very stressful situation. This offers a fun and relaxed opportunity to meet your Clermont Police Officers.”
A DJ will provide paw-tapping tunes, an agility course will be set up and vendors will offer treats to people and pups. A “Luck O’ the Irish” doggie costume contest will begin at 10 a.m. with awards to the best-dressed and most creative costumes.
